Not quite.  I want to keep font, italic, bold,size, and the like, which I'm
able to process.

But things like line numbering and line spacing from word seem to come in,
but I can't find anything in the docs to clear them.

I check for "mixed" for pasting in that has mixed size/font to deal with
manually, and otherwise set a custom property so that it can reset.

That loses the formatting that I need, though.

Is there some way to find/parse what style info has been set on the field?
Or documentation or a list of what these properties can be?

thanks
