Why Pasted Text Keeps Formatting

When you copy text, you often copy more than words. Bullets, line breaks, spacing, hidden styling, and app-specific formatting can come along for the ride.

Clean Before the Final Paste

Use Remove Formatting from Text before pasting into the final app. If the text still looks wrong, use Remove Line Breaks, Remove Extra Spaces, or Remove Bullet Points from Text.
