If you paste as Ctrl+V from an outside application [Word, NotePad or whatever] it will adopt your default style in a new box or the style of the text in an existing box. If you are copying from an existing InDesign box you can paste as Ctrl+Shft+v and this will retain the format of the text you are copying, whether into a new or existing box. Does that help?
