Hints & Tips: MS Word – Remove Formatting from Text Quickly or Extra Quickly

Ever opened a document where the formatting is terrible; only then to spend hours removing it all?

 

Since I have started blogging I’ve discovered that removing formatting from text before pasting it on a blog page takes lots of time!

 

Here 3 ways to remove formatting from the text.

 

Using the mouse:

  1. Select the text whose formatting you want to remove.
  2. Click Styles and Formatting  Microsoft Word Styles and Formatting Button on the Formatting toolbar
  3. Click Clear Formatting.

Microsoft Word restores the formatting to the Normal style for your document.

 

You can achieve the same result by:

  1. Selecting the text whose formatting you want to remove.
  2. Going to EditClearFormats from the Standard toolbar.

 

Or use my favourite method by using a keyboard:

Select the text and press a combination of keys <Ctrl> + <Shift> + <N>.

 

This saves you from having to manually remove all the formatting yourself.
