You are wasting your time trying to achieve consistency when copy / pasting if your documents are full of inconsistencies in the first place.
Content replication via VBA's FormattedText method - which is what the macro in the link I posted uses - is generally sufficient to cope with such anomalies.

For manual copying/pasting, setting Word's copy/paste options to keep the source formatting for both pasting between documents and for Style conflicts should achieve the same outcome.
