Is there an eyedropper function or any other means to match a font in a document as is available in InDesign? When I import copy into a document which already contains certain fonts, I'd like to be able to "match" the new copy to existing fonts. Is there a way to do this? Help!!

There isn't an eyedropper function, as far as I know.

You have to select the text that is the style you want, then Edit>Copy, then Edit>Paste Style.

That doesn't appear to work for me if I copy/paste from a website, the text just pastes into Designer as Arial and the Paste Style option is greyed-out.

You would need a web browser that interprets the web-page and puts an RTF version of the text into the clipboard. The ones I've tried on Windows just put raw text and an HTML version into the clipboard, neither of which includes styling information that the Affinity apps will use.
