Option to Ignore Margines on added documents

Feature Request: Ignore Source Document Margins for Appended Content

Summary:
Enable Cost Volume Pro to override the original margins of an attached document and apply the margins defined within CVP when using Append and Append Embed. This ensures imported content conforms to the formatting standards of the destination document.

Problem Statement:
Currently, when users append external documents, the incoming content may retain its original margin settings instead of adopting the margins configured in Cost Volume Pro. This creates formatting inconsistencies within the final document and requires users to spend additional time correcting layout issues manually. For proposal and document-heavy workflows, inconsistent margins can reduce document quality and slow down production.

Proposed Solution:
Add an option for Append and Append Embed actions that allows users to ignore the source document’s margins and apply the destination document margins defined in Cost Volume Pro.
Ensure the imported text conforms to the current CVP page layout and margin settings during processing.
Limit this behavior to appended document workflows where users explicitly choose to override incoming formatting.
Preserve other relevant content elements where possible while standardizing the document’s margin alignment.

Benefits:
Improves document consistency by ensuring appended content matches CVP formatting standards.
Reduces manual cleanup required after importing external documents.
Speeds up proposal and document assembly workflows.
Helps users produce cleaner, more professional final outputs with less effort.
