    "Paste as plain text" How have I been a Windows (and probably works in other OS's as well?) for years and years and not know that keyboard shortcut? So useful, as I copy and paste stuff all the time. Not code! Things like a Teams message into an email, or vice versa, or quote that I'm citing in an essay, or something in Excel to an email, ... the list goes on. Well, I guess you can teach an old dog a new trick. :laugh:

      Here's another old dog who just learned a new trick that would occasionally be useful.

        I remember when it was Shift-Insert to paste. Which still works. :laugh:

                  Outlook is an Office product, so it is - of course - totally compatible with all other Office products. Except Excel. Oh, and PowerPoint. And Word, and probably OneNote.

                    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?

                        I remember when CTRL-G made the PC beep, a relic from the days when teletypes ruled the world. I guess nobody told the designers of sound cards about backward compatibility.

                          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...

                              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 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... :doh: :sigh:

                                      M.D.V. ;) 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.

                                        Here's another old dog who just learned a new trick that would occasionally be useful.

                                        Me too. I bet my dog is older than your dog :)

                                        Paul Sanders. If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter - Blaise Pascal. Some of my best work is in the undo buffer.

                                          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'
