It would be helpful for someone who - like me - pastes material from outside
documents into one I'm working on if I could "lock" the font so that all
pasted material is automatically converted into the font and size I'm working
on. As it stands now, I copy, paste and then highlight and convert
everything into the font I want. This seems like it would be a simple menu
item...

If you properly use styles in Word this happens automatically, the
difficulty is to paste without having the font upgrade!
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm. Of course there remains the
problem of getting contributors to use the styles ... but with adequate
templates they usually will.

Using the Paste Options button you can choose to Match Destination
Formatting or Paste Unformatted Text.
