Problem copying one word document to another

[dbaldwin]

I am attempting to copy one word 2007 document to another. The copy and paste approach copies the text but not the formatting, leaving the resulting document useless. I'm unable to correct the formatting problems in the resulting document as well. Is there a way to import or copy a document with it's existing formatting, into another word document?
Thanks in advace for your kind attention to my request

Found a solution.

1 Insert a Formatted Document into a Word 2007 or 2010 File
2 Open the Word document into which you want to insert a formatted document.
3 Place the cursor where you want to insert the formatted document.
4 Go to the "Insert" tab of the ribbon and click the "Object" button in the "Text" group. The "Object" dialog box will open.
5 Go to the "Create from File" tab. Click the "Browse" button. Find the formatted document that you want to insert into the Word file and click on it to select it.
6 Click the "OK" button. Save the changes to your Word document.

The resulting document had some margin issues which I was able to correct.

most probably open the document as read-only
