Default Having Clear Formatting reset text to Body Text

Is there a method for changing the 'Style for following paragraph' for
many styles at once?

Also, do you have any idea how to change 'Clear Formatting' to use a
different style?

Is there an relatively easy method (for novice users) for having Body
Text the default style for a document? Specifically, I'm looking for:
1. Clear Formatting to reset the text's style to Body Text; and
2. the style following other paragraph styles (Headings, etc.) to
default to Body Text instead of Normal.


Responding to myself...

My original question is based on some assumptions that I have about
using Word's styles.

A better question is: what's a good method for using Body Text so that
every paragraph does not need to be styled as Body Text.

Currently I set a paragraph as Body Text, but when I apply Headings or
Clear Formatting, the text goes back to Normal. I don't believe that
other Word users in my office will be willing to or even remember to
keep choosing Body Text for paragraphs.

Thanks.
