Another way -- In Customize toolbar, find the command for Paste
Unformatted. Drag it to the toolbar. Right click and choose an icon
for it. Click that when you want to insert text and have it pick up
the formatting of the paragraph where you're inserting it. (I changed
the icon to the plain "paste" icon, and deleted the existing one for
the regular paste. For regular paste, preserving formatting, I just
use Control+v.

| Actually, the cycle you get with Shift+F3 depends on the selection.
| Sometimes it includes Title Case instead of (I think) Sentence case.

| Hi Mary Lee-
|
| 1- Shift+Ctrl+C once you select what to copy formatting from,
| Shift+Ctrl+V
| to apply it elsewhere.
|
| 2- Shift+F3 will toggle you through Upper/Lower/Sentence case.
