[default text style override]

How do you get default override behavior for text styles to stick? This is about Publisher's local/character formatting override behavior when applying a paragraph text style to text in a Publisher text frame, imported text in this case. The override options are available by right-clicking a style name in the text styles panel. Right-clicking a paragraph style in the text styles panel shows a list of potential overrides of local or character formatting that came in with the imported paragraph. For example, there is an option to apply the paragraph style to the selected paragraph(s) plus preserve local formatting like bold and italic. Publisher help says: "You can also set the default override behavior for your styles in readiness for applying the style directly from the [text styles] panel. "

I cannot get my default selection to stick, despite deselecting all text and text frames in the document per help's instructions. 

Any help much appreciated.
