On issue one, Mike is correct--font sizes, etc., come from the _paragraph format_, not the table format.  If the text in the tables uses overrides, rather than correctly applying paragraph formats, then you're out of luck.  Create the correct paragraph formats and apply to the cells, and you'll never have the problem again. 

On issue two, you can also combine several FM documents using the "import" feature.  Go to the end of document 1, select File>Import>File, select document 2 from the Import dialog.  Select the defaults for the next dialog. 

Then, after the file is imported, double-click on it and select Convert to Text. Viola! 

This might be a little easier than Niels's suggested copy and paste.
