Hmmm...I have Wordpad open, with some text that contains bolded items. Ctrl-C to copy, open a new instance of Wordpad, Ctrl-Shift-V to paste as plain text...nope, the formatting is still there.
What are you copying from, and to?

It does not work in everything. Hell, Word doesn't support it and you'd think that it should!
|

I'd rather not have known instead of being made aware that I have been ignoring something so useful all these years. Ignorance is a bliss...

Quote: This opens the Run dialog, pastes the clipboard into the edit box, then copies the text back out.
Ok, that is seriously weird (like his other Ctrl+F solution) - to open something with an edit box. Good grief.

I’m still getting over WIN+V paste history.
|
|
|
|
|
I have long used plain notepad for that, format free and no special chars used by scammers (like the russian letter that looks like an "a").
Then came MS and screw it up...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Windows key + V will give you a history of things to paste. I found this very useful in the age of VSCode or 'Find is this only tooling that works'

ETA: ope! I missed the shift part in your OP. Now I get it. :facepalm:
Wow. How have you even coded at all without ^c ^v and ^x? Do you know about ^f? ^h?

In Word, you can use Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V to copy and paste the formatting only. Quite useful since Word's styles are so useless now days.

On MS Word, to get "Paste unformatted" you have to use Ctrl+Alt+V or right-click+T. Maybe some historical reason to do it differently?
I frequently use Ctrl+Shift+V in LibreOffice Writer on Ubuntu. Works a treat!

This feels like one of the most useful things I've learned in years. Never again will I have to paste something into Notepad then copy it out again. Thank you!

Just saw this on a website, clarifying their Price Protection Policy...
Quote: Protection against arbitrary price increases only. Does not apply to inflation, extraordinary world events, currency devaluation, etc. Does not apply to add-ons given as a free gift/bonus.

Hmmm, I would think price changes due to inflation, extraordinary world events, currency devaluation, etc. are essentially arbitrary as well.

A stable price is not that bad, it's the smell that turns me away.
