![]() ![]() Pasting unformatted text would also convert text in small caps to all caps, even though small caps is a formatting option applied to text in mixed case (there is a difference between an upper-case letter and a lower-case letter in small caps!) and stripping the formatting should revert the text to the underlying mix of lower case and upper case. ![]() This was a major annoyance for French writers, since the non-breaking space is such an essential part of French typography. Pasting unformatted text would strip not only the formatting, but also some special characters, including the non-breaking space, which was replaced with a regular space.Word did have a way to paste unformatted text, but it was very convoluted (you had to bring up the “ Paste Special…” modal dialog box and then select the appropriate option) and it suffered from substantial flaws and bugs. I keep writing all kinds of nasty things about Microsoft’s products for Mac OS X, so I guess it is only fair that I should write something (a little something) when Microsoft does finally do something right and includes something that is actually a significant improvement over previous versions.įor years, I have been complaining about the fact that Word did not include a proper “ Paste Without Formatting” command for pasting copied text without its rich text formatting (bold, italics, colour, font face, etc.).
