Thanks to all who responded. Useful suggestions.
Our training group has developed a guide in Word and are wrestling with Style issues. (They were forewarned.) Methinks cost justifying another FrameMaker seat just became a bit easier.

Hi Amelia,
The easiest way to do this, if a small amount of text, is to take all of the text, without the paragraph marker. If there is character formatting, simply select the text and press Ctrl+Space to go to the default formatting.
Hope this is helpful.
