Avoid Formatting Issues When Copying Content

Formatting issues may occur when copying content from external applications such as Microsoft Office or Google Docs. Choose the paste mode that best matches the result you need.

1. Clean paste

Clean paste is the default. Use CTRL+V (or CMD+V on Mac).

It preserves useful structure such as paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, links, lists, and tables, while removing unwanted visual styling such as fonts, font sizes, colors, backgrounds, margins, padding, CSS classes, and other inline styles.

2. Plain text

Use CTRL+SHIFT+V (or CMD+SHIFT+V on Mac) to paste text only. All source formatting and document structure are removed.

3. Paste with Source Formatting

Use Paste with Source Formatting from the editor toolbar when you want to preserve as much of the source formatting as the editor supports. Some HTML, CSS, fonts, or application-specific formatting may still be normalized or removed.

4. Remove formatting

If you pasted content with formatting and need to remove it, use the Remove Format tool. It removes inline visual styles while preserving block-level structure and semantic content such as headings, paragraphs, and links.
