Hi :) It just occurred to me that after collecting a mix of snippets from different sources it might be easier to Ctrl a = select all and then Format - "Remove direct formatting"
I usually collect single articles at a time and correct the formatting of one before moving on to the next. So for me it's better to do each paste as a Ctrl Shift v to paste as unformatted right from the start. I guess different work-flows suit different situations or different folks. Sadly all my styles are set to be very basic, because that is all i need. So the document Tim linked to got reduced to a very simplistic layout that didn't look anything like the original. I guess if you do this quite a lot then it might be worth setting up styles that do suit this layout much better. We used to have quite passionate arguments/discussions about the 'best' way of handling different documents. It was quite amazing that there were so many different ways, and interesting to see how those suited different circumstances.
