Word is what I use, but other text applications should do the same. As for Finale switching the text size: Did you paste to a text block where a text of a given size had been deleted incompletely? Try pasting to a new text block. If spaces or other invisible elements are left, the formatting stays in the block.

I don't use Word, being generally anti-Microsoft but unwilling to switch allegiance to Mac for Finale. I've just tried doing what you suggest in (Corel) Word Perfect. No problem in WP, where I quickly made samples of my Copyright notice in Arial 14/10 point, 13/9 point and 12/8 point. I tried copying and pasting the smallest. No problem with the process, but Finale immediately changed it all to 12-point. :( I might not find this quite so infuriating if I hadn't been able to do it in Finale fifteen years ago the way I want now. I feel as if I've just spent a lot of money on something that's not yet fully fit for purpose. Might my problems (there are others) be incompatibility between Windows 8.1 and Finale 2014?
