Last night, in a fit of desperation about why I can't drag and drop part of
a line of text to another line of text without reformatting, I discovered
something. My goal is to have an objective statement in my resume to which
I can drag a position name in a smaller, lighter font (matching another
line's styletag).

Set the style tag for line one the way you want it, then change part of the
text (the decoy) to match your other need . When drag-'n'-dropping, only
put the matching text blocks together -- and don't take the paragraph
marker -- then delete the decoy text. In my case, the decoy text is a
perfectly legitimate job name -- but this new idea gives me an instantly
customizable resume.
