Default Quickparts - text formatting

(But if the Chinese IME is enabled on your computer, Ctrl-Spacebar
switches you to Chinese, and this can't be overridden. Use Ctrl-Shift-
Z to clear font formatting.)

Before creating the AutoText/Building Block, make sure that no direct font
formatting has been applied. You can do that by selecting the text from
which you are creating the AutoText and pressing Ctrl+SpaceBar (clears font
formatting not in style). Then create the AutoText.

I just created some quickparts/autotext items. *When I insert them, they
keep
the formatting of the original autotext. *Is there any way to make the
autotext "match destination formatting" similar to copy-and-paste? *Or
maybe
make the autotext have no formatting so it uses the "normal" style from
the
document you are working in? *The help files say that if you don't save
the
paragraph mark the building block will use the formatting of the
surrounding
paragraph, but that doesn't seem to be true. *Ideas?-
