Tip of the Week: Pasting Tip
Sometimes, when copying text from one source to another, the formatting doesn't match, making reformatting necessary. There is a way to avoid this problem by pasting only the text and not the formatting. Here's how:
- Select and copy the text as normal.
- In the document you want to paste the text into, select Edit --> Paste Special... (in Office 2007, select the arrow below paste, then Paste Special...
- Select Unformatted Text.
The text pasted into the document will then have the same formatting as if it were typed, eliminating the need to reformat it.
