Problems with links, colors, text since update

Hello! I have been trying to figure out this new update with adding text.  Typically, we create content in a Google Doc/Word document and then copy and paste in.  Previously, regardless of the size font in the original doc, when I pasted into Rise, it add it at the size font of the template that I was using.  With the new update, it copies the formatting from the original document. I can work around that by fixing my font size in original document.

Second thing is that now when there is a linked article or attachment, that hyperlink copies into Rise--which is great and saves significant time.  The problem is that it also copies the color of the link from the original document and then when I brand for a specific client, the linked text remains the same and does not automatically update with the theme color as it did in the past.  

Any suggested fixes, work arounds or adjustments I can make?
Thanks!
