Copying and Pasting reformatting Word documents

It is a pain not being able to use copying and pasting the right way. My text looks like this:

However, as soon as I paste what I copied straight out of my Logos book, it looks like this:

In other words, every time I copy or paste something, Logos reformats my Word document to only-God-knows-what kind of formatting that is. It messes up everything.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

In Microsoft Word you need the Option "Keep source formatting" when Pasting from other Programs:

Is there any way to change the settings so that this is always the case?

What Dave is suggesting is changing the default. If you only want to do it once you can right click and choose the appropriate option. If you want to change the default you go to

Click the File tab or Office button.
Select Options.
Select Advanced in the left pane.
In the Cut, Copy, and Paste section, choose the appropriate setting from the pasting options. As you can see below, you can control the pasting default for several situations.
Click OK.

My Word is weird. This is what shows up when I click "File"

To find the Cut and Paste options, I have to go somewhere else. And even when I find it, the options do not look the same from what you guys are showing:

So I have no idea what to do

Curious about Word for Mac version ? (Word => About)

Appears Word is configured to be your Mail editor (your screen shot shows New Message for email)

Keep Smiling [:)]

I am interested in an answer for those that are using MacBooks and do not appear to have the ability to maintain format pasting functions from logos to Word 365. I am a college student and the continual formatting changes are very painful. Thanks for the help.
