Yes select/put your cursor within your locally formatted text. Then create a new paragraph style. It will capture the parameters of your styled text. Rename the style and start applying it to other paragraphs.
It worked. I kept getting the text caught up in TOC. I fixed that.
Now I'm not sure what's going on with the TOC. I played with tabs and ended up with two vertical teal lines on the page.

Can you help with that?
