Remove Text Formatting when Copy-Pasting

by Jerome Locson on June 23rd, 2008

When I am working on an online research, I usually copy-paste text from websites for later reading. When pasting the text in the Microsoft Word, the text format from the website goes along. So, at times, I need to open Notepad in order to remove the text formatting, not knowing that there’s a way to do it directly from your Microsoft Office.

Paste Special is a build-in function of Microsoft Office which allows you to paste text as unformatted, HTML, or unformatted Unicode as shown above. So, next time around, if you wish to just copy-paste the text alone, you may do so using the Paste Special function.
