Any text that you copy from a file, such as a Microsoft Word document or Adobe PDF file, and paste into the CMS page editor will not appear exactly in the same way as it does in the source document. This is because these programmes work differently to website browsers, so when the text editor attempts to copy across the styling/format of the text as well as the actual text there are conflicts.
In order to avoid this problem, any text that you copy from one of these files needs to be converted into plain text.
