FormatTypeAutoConvert
• FormatTypeAutoConvert is an option for cells that determines if the contents of a cell are automatically converted into a different format when the style of that cell is changed.
• Each cell style has a certain format associated with it. For example, by default, input cells are displayed in StandardForm and Text cells are displayed in TextForm.When you change the style of a cell to a style with a different default format, the contents of the cell are automatically converted to the new format. This corresponds to the default setting FormatTypeAutoConvert 
True.
• With the setting FormatTypeAutoConvert False, the contents of a cell stay in the same format even if the cell style is changed.
