      when I copy and paste text, the text I paste reverts back to an older type choice and color (even within a new document). How do I delete this setting, which I somehow saved

      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?

      The setting you want to adjust is in Preferences > Clipboard Handling.

      I am not sure of the path under clipping would correct my copy and paste issue. Presently everything I bring is Binner Gothic with a Gradient…NOT WHAT I WANT LOL

      Also, check your Character Styles panel. Make sure it is set to None before you paste.
