Text pasted into text block should inherit text block formatting

We copy text from Word documents into LiveCycle Text items that have the correct font and size already established. It's very cumbersome to have to "fix" pasted text that comes in with it's own font and size.  This could be a setting in options.

I just discovered a tiny, free program that strips all the font formatting out of clipboard text.  Text will paste into the LiveCycle text block with no formatting and thus inherit the text block's formatting.

All you do is paste with Windows-V instead of Ctl-V.  The hot key to paste can be changed.

Of course, having LiveCycle do the same thing would be the best solution.
