"right click -> Copy As PlainText"? Office 2010 still doesn't ship with such a feature, and it's been a problem from the '90s!"
Have you used Office 2010? There are multiple options to pasting: Keep source formatting, merge formatting, and keep text only. The options in Excel are even greater.
- crazygringo 14y agoThe issue isn't pasting into Word, it's copying from Word. And web browsers, for example, don't generally have a "Paste as Plain Text" option inside of text fields.
- toyg 14y agoAs crazygringo said, the problem is copying from Office into textboxes. Any developer who's ever worked on a web-based CMS will tell you how painful it is to have to deal with people pasting walls of text from Word. (And btw, I do use Office 2010 every day of my cursed life...)
