Suggestion: yank the text with C-y.  Then reactivate the region with
C-x C-x.  Then use M-g to apply some text properties you like.  For
example, M-g o Info-title-1-face RET might do something you like.

Note, however, that if the buffer where you yank has font-lock
activated, then font-lock will override this manually specified
face.  This is a consequence of how font-lock works.  Perhaps it
helps to switch the buffer to enriched-mode before M-g.
