If you copy and paste a lot of content from different sources—other Word documents or Outlook e-mail messages. Just using Paste (on the Edit menu, click Paste) works fine, but it carries the formatting of the original document and can make a mess of your document. Instead, try using Paste Special and paste the text as unformatted text. You won’t spend time reformatting the text, and I’ll bet it will save you time.

To use Paste Special:

 

1.  On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.

 

2.   In the Paste Special dialog box, select the Paste radio button, and in the As: section, choose Unformatted Text.

 

       3.   Click OK.
