I am importing formatted text from an external editor (using Markdown Perl script to do the formatting on the fly as it happens -- don't think this is the problem though)

It all copies over to NWP fine EXCEPT that I get a kind of grey smudge under the headings and subheadings -- a bit like the good ole' Nisus 'list smudge'. It is not as distinct as a drop shadow, but I can remove it by manually selecting the line and using the character palette to 'remove drop shadow'.

• How can I stop Nisus adding this attribute to imported text?
• If I can't, is there a quick way to globally clean up all the text without losing the format attributes? I'd like to use a macro to do this (prevention would be better than cure, though)

You can't selectively choose to ignore a single attribute upon paste/import. You can only import the whole thing as plain text, which it sounds like you don't want to do.

If prevention is better than the cure, then I'd look to your external editor, and why it's adding this shadow/smudge in the first place.

But, if you have the text in NWP, you can remove all shadow attributes by toggling the shadow. The first time you toggle the shadow, it will likely turn shadow on for all of the text. The second toggle removes it. Here's a macro that turns shadow off for all selected text:
