What browser are you using? FireFox or something similar?

Try with IE and paste into Ms-Word for effectivensss.
Copy and pasting from any MS product to any other MS product retains font
and other settings (most of the bloat contributed to Front Page is the
result of users copying and pasting from Word and into Front Page.)

In addition MS-Word has no capability for CSS.
Their own "styles" when implemented into web pages are a farce beyond
imagination.
