Hi :) I think the "Getting Started" guide, Chapter 3 "Using Stylers and Templates" deals with the issue https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
Also you can remove the formatting contained in copied text by using Ctrl Shift v instead of just Ctrl v or use paste-special to paste as plain text. Importing plain text from a .txt file is slightly different and doesn't appear to have changed so it still works afaik.
