Tech Tip - Paste as Plain Text with Ctrl + Shift + V

Pasting something into an email or document and don’t want all the messy fonts or colours? Use Ctrl + Shift + V instead of Ctrl + V to paste without formatting.

How to:

– Highlight and copy your text as normal (Ctrl + C).
– When pasting, press Ctrl + Shift + V instead of just Ctrl + V.
– The text will appear as plain, unformatted text.

What it’s for:

Saves time when you need clean content for emails, reports, or shared documents—no more wasting time stripping out inconsistent fonts or hidden links.

Pro‑Tip: This shortcut works in Chrome, Word, Outlook, Gmail and many modern apps. Ideal for shared docs where consistent formatting matters.
