Retain formatting in paste but have Paragraph style override font
Hello all, and thank you for the help. I have searched and found a few similar posts but not the same request.
I am pasting from an outside document that has formatting into indesign, and hope to retain the formatting but change the font family, size and color to my assigned Paragraph style.
I have changed the clipboard handling to paste All Information.
I have a paragraph style set up.
I paste into the text box and it changes the size and color of the text, but does not change the font family.
I will make sure that Character style is set to None on the imported text.
Strangely enough if I click through different styles and back to my paragraph style it will (seemingly randomly) sometimes change the font family, but often only the first 2 paragraphs (after Hard line breaks), leaving the third with the original pasted font family. I can not seem to replicate why this happens . Something must be overriding the font styling, but I can not seem to figure out what it might be, or how to override it without wiping the formatting.
This is an example of a text box in which the first two paragraphs have been styled to my font family, but the last paragraph is retaining the old pasted family, despite applying the paragraph style to the whole text.
Any leads would be greatyl appreciated.
