Is there a method for changing the 'Style for following paragraph' for

It probably can be done with VBA. But you'd have to specify exactly
which styles you want set to be followed by "Bodytext" (because, for
many styles, you want them to be followed by themselves.

To get a good idea on how to setup styles, here's some food for thought:

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

Hmm, why not just apply Bodytext directly? If you are talking about
CTRL-SHIFT-N to apply Normal, you can define and use a shortcut of your
own for Bodytext (can be set in the style dialog).
