Frequently Asked Questions - paste unformatted text

If you are trying to copy text from another program or website into Word here is something that may help. Instead of choosing Paste try choosing Paste Special and pick Text or Unformatted Text. That way it won’t paste any of the formatting that the other program may have within the text. You can also paste it into Notepad which will not copy any formatting and then copy and paste it from Notepad into Word.
