Inheriting formats when pasting

[Rick Quatro]

You are right, Fred, I am sorry about that. You are also right that this
could be scripted with FrameScript.

Sorry Rick, but unless this has changed in FM9 (I'm still using FM8) this
only affects content that is being pasted via the Windows clipboard--that is
content from external applications. Cutting/copying and pasting within
FrameMaker behaves as Andy has described regardless of the
ClipboardFormatsPriorities setting.
 
But I would guess that a simple FrameScript script could execute a standard
paste and then automatically apply the Default Para Font property to the
pasted chunk. And maybe even do an update on any xref or user variable that
was in the pasted chunk in case a character property is part of the
reference's format.
