Sue,
If you really want to apply multiple formats to a field, simply embed
them:
TextStyleAdd (TextStyleAdd (TextSize (TextFont (text, Arial), 10),
Plain), Bold)
This will put text in 10 point Arial with Bold-only formatting.
However, if you simply want to remove any custom formatting resulting
from pasting, you should probably strip out any formatting from the
field contents, and apply formatting to the text box in the layout
you want formatted. Use:
TextFormatRemove (text)
Set the field "text" to Auto-Enter the above calculation, and uncheck
the box that says "Do Not Replace Existing Value".

I have been interested in the posts here about standardizing
formating in fields where folks are pasting in information in
various fonts and styles. I decided what I wanted to do was set up
a calculation field that takes the text they paste in a field and
applies font size, style, color etc. But I have been unable to
figure out how to apply size, style, color, and font all in one
calculation equation. I can do it with multiple calculations each
applying one of these, but this is unwieldy. Can anyone show me an
example of a calculation string that applies font, size, color, and
style to a field named TEXT.
Thanks!
