Microsoft is adding a new keyboard shortcut to paste unformatted text in Word
Having very recently introduced a new Paste As Plain Text module to PowerToys, Microsoft is now bringing the same option to Word.
Following the lead of many other applications, Microsoft's word processor is gaining a new keyboard shortcut that can be used to paste text and strip it of any formatting. Microsoft is calling the feature Paste Text Only, and it is available in both Word for Windows and Word for Mac.
Soon there will be a PastePlain PowerToys utility to paste what you have copied as plain text without formatting
PowerToys developers are currently working on a new utility that will make it possible to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Win + V to paste text and strip away formatting.
Users of Microsoft Word -- and, indeed, other word processors -- will be familiar with the ability to copy and paste text either with or without the original formatting being retained. But this is not something that is supported by all apps, hence the need for the PastePlain PowerToys module.
