Microsoft is finally bringing popular paste plain text shortcuts to Microsoft Word for Windows and Mac - here's what you need to know.
Published Mar 10th, 2023 8:14PM ESTWe’ve been using copy-and-paste shortcuts to move text between applications for years. And products like Microsoft’s Word and otherhave annoyed us for just as long when copying and pasting plain text without formatting. The good news is that Microsoft is finally bringing the plain text paste shortcut you’ve been dying to use to Word: CTRL + Shift + V or CMD + Shift + V is all you need going forward.
“Imagine not having to manually remove the source formatting like font size, type, or background color,” Microsoft continues. Yes, imagine that, Microsoft. In the case of keyboard shortcuts, the industry standard has diverged from Word’s initial implementation of these features. Indeed, users expect that Ctrl + Shift + V will paste plain text, so when this doesn’t work, the experience can be frustrating. The Word team heard about this problem from users, so we’re updating keyboard shortcuts as a direct response to your feedback. Accessibility is a priority for Word, and we want to make the cut, copy, paste experience as seamless as possible.
