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!
