If I select one of them, say Auto-fit, the copied text is not pasted, but I get a cursor. If I start typing and then paste my text, the pasted text does not take on the auto-fit attribute. In my case, the pasted text was smaller. Then, typing some text after the pasted text continues taking on the Auto-fit attribute.

    Is there something that I'm doing wrong here? How can one paste text into the object to get it to Auto-fit? Or is this something that is lacking?

    I understand your other part about not being able to change from Auto-fit to Fixed-inside and vice versa after accepting it the first time.
    John, you need to delete the trailing return character or select it first and then paste. Do not start typing as this assumes all pasted text thereafter is pasted at its original size. To get out of it, you need to select all text and then set to Normal text Style and it all resets properly.

    It is a powerful tool but so easy to go wrong.

    The On Top option is magically elsewhere just now. It is late.
