Hi! Thanks for everyone's support! I followed the recommendations and started pasting as Unformatted text. This way it always works.
I think Jean is right. The documents have undergone so many revisions that maybe there is some odd formatting in their "internal code". Dan and Jean, thanks for being willing to look further into the original files, but I think it is not going to be necessary anymore. I am now finishing the chapter and I think now I can fix problems like these. Thanks!
