It seems I didn't explain myself clearly enough. You wanted a paragraph-level 
command analogous to the "Default Para Font" command at the 
text-string/character level, and I was trying to say that's neither possible 
nor necessary. 

The "quick way to remove all the local formatting (incl. paragraph formatting) 
from a paragraph, so it appears according to its current style" is simply this: 

1) If there is char formatting to remove (e.g., parts of the pgf are formatted 
differently), select the pgf (triple-click) and click Default Para Font in the 
Character Catalog. If the pgf is all formatted the same, skip to step 2. 

2) With the cursor in the pgf (or the pgf still selected), click its "style" 
(in FM, it's called a "format" or "tag") in the Paragraph Catalog. 

3) There is no step 3. 

At step 2, you can of course choose a different pgf format. And you can apply 
pgf tags quickly with the keyboard, too. So, if you've got defined pgf formats 
that meet your needs, you can walk the cursor through a doc, retagging pgfs as 
you go, at a rate of several pages per minute. 

The quick way to remove all local formatting from all the pgfs in a doc, 
restoring them all to their defined formats, is to import paragraph formats 
(File > Import > Formats) from the current document with remove overrides 
selected. If the currently-applied tags are basically correct, this restores 
order quickly. 

HTH!
