Did you want that font to carry across, or not?  If not, you have a 
chance when pasting to use Paste Special instead of ordinary Paste 
and to select "Unformatted text": this carries across your text but 
preserves the formats of the destination cells.

You could try copying the range of cells, and then pasting it back 
over itself, but using Edit | Paste Special... (or right-click | 
Paste Special... or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste.  In the 
Paste Special dialogue, remove the tick from "Paste all" if necessary 
and then ensure that Text (and anything else necessary) is ticked but 
Formats is not ticked.

Otherwise you may have to send a small sample document to someone to examine.

I trust this helps.
