Default when i import a file into a Word it adopts different formatting

When importing a file the document adopts odd formatting. For example -
paragraphs suddenly appear in bold - alignment changes etc. It does not
adopt the format of the original document. I know that I could use Format
Painter to correct this - but the documents are often very long and it is too
time consuming to do so.

Which styles are applied to the inserted text? Modify those styles in the target
document.
