So if you decide that you only ever want to paste text without its’ formatting from other documents or programs, then you can follow the steps in our guide below to implement that setting in your Word 2010 installation.
Adjust the Pasting Options in Word 2010
The steps below will show you where to find the settings that control how text is pasted into your document. There are four different options that you can set which handle how pasting occurs within the same document, from other documents, and from other programs. You can change each of these settings individually, but our example below will change all of them so that you are only ever pasting plain text into a Word 2010 document.
Now when you go to paste something into a Word document in the future, it will paste the text without any formatting. If you have an existing document with a lot of unwanted formatting, then you might be looking for a way to get rid of all of it. Fortunately you can clear all text formatting in Word 2010 at once, rather than change each individual setting.
