Oh, sorry. From the 'Set Paragraph Style' listbox, we are not 'Clear
Formatting' we are actually applying a default paragraph style.

In that case, taking each of the Paragraph objects held in cells back to
'Default paragraph style' is reasonable as it is the only way to assure
consistency--and effectively apply a new style. As described resolving the see
also bug 70759.

It would be much harder to reliably parse the current source template and
divine what default style should be applied.

Use case here to get back to 'Table Contents', would be no different than what
was fixed for bug 70759 where 'Text body' was being applied.

So for consistent results, work flows should include a "clear" that reverts to
'Default Paragraph style', and a second style action to apply the final style
to selected paragraphs. 

Agree with the NAB and no change.
