I am trying to paste text from a Microsoft Word document into a webpage using Expression Web, retaining the source format without success.

When I click on "retain source formatting" both that and "match destination formatting" are activated, by way of a little dot being visible beside both.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The one thing you don't want to do is copy/paste the entire table from word. Doing that will add a significant amount of nonstandard markup to your page, which will surely break it. If you do elect to copy paste, do not just paste. Use edit>Paste Text and not the right click paste. With edit>Paste Text you won't bring over any of the word excess baggage.
