When copying text from another document or Internet
web page and pasting it into Microsoft Word, Word will keep the formatting of
the text. For example, if you were to copy the text on this page to a Word
file, this text would remain bold, and this text would remain blue.
To remove the formatting in Microsoft Word from any text highlight the text and
press the shortcut key Ctrl + Spacebar. This will set the text to the
default font, remove the formatting, and even remove links.
Alternatively you can use the Paste Special option
or Keep Text Only option in Microsoft Word to paste the text with no formatting.
Bonus Tip: In most versions of Windows Ctrl
+ Windows Key + V also pastes text as plain text.
