**Will these foreign documents contain LO-formated pageBreaks? Would you suffer
if those breaks were removed by "Clear direct formatting"? Will you not want to
remove some of them, and add your own, as part of the required ‘cleaning’?

**not in my test: select a normal (non-bold) word; hitting ^b several times
toggles the format bold on and off.
Anyway, this is character formatting, independent from pageBreaks
