what I want to do is force my Text fields in a simple FM database to be Helvetica Plain 10 pt. I've set the fields to that as default but, then if I cut and paste (from a web page) formatted text into a text field, it remains formatted.

Once you have styled text in a cell, the AppleScript line

set cell "Description" to (cell "Description" as text)

seems to do what you need in FM6, setting the cell to its default formatting.

Using FileMaker's own scripting, you can also delete formatting in a roundabout way by cutting the text, leaving the cell, reentering it, then pasting without formatting:

Cut[Select]
Go to Next Field
Go to Previous Field
Paste[No style]
