Remove Text Formatting Removes formatting such as typeface, type color, and type style from the imported text.

Resolve Text Style Conflicts Using Lets you specify which character or paragraph style is applied when there is a conflict between the style in the tagged text file and the style in your document. Select Publication Definition to use the definition that already exists for that style name in the document. Select Tagged File Definition to use the style as defined in the tagged text. This option creates another instance of the style with “copy” appended to its name in the Character Style or Paragraph Style panel.
