Default Reformatting docs into a standard format using highlightin possibly?

Hello, I'm now to this forum and hope more experienced users can help.
At work, I receive many documents from various people in many formats that I have to then format into the fixed company style. It's time consuming and I wonder if Word 2016 has tools that can help?

Ideally I'd like to be able to highlight a piece of text + (for example) A and Word will know that I need the highlighted to be changed to bold and indented with a bullet.
Then I'd like to highlight a second piece of text + (for example 2) and Word will know I need that text added after the first piece of text but on the next line and not in bold.

I understand I'd have to set up a 'mini routine' to into this info. But I have no idea if something like this exists inside or outside Word - maybe as an add-on possibly?

Any ideas or advice please? Thank you.
