Hello all,

I would like users to be able to copy text from the web page, then be
able to paste that text in a word processor, such as MS Word. What I am
hoping to accomplish is to allow the font-face and font size mirror
that which is on the website. For instance, the website text is Arial
10pt. But when it is pasted into a Word document, that text defaults to
the 'Normal' style, Times New Roman 10pt.

I know this functionality can be accomplished as I see it across many
sites. Problem is I cannot isolate what is allowing this seamless
transition from web page to word processor to occur.

As an FYI: The site uses CSS for layout and design. No tables or font
tags are being used.

Thanks again...
