Copy Paste Content Without Styling from Webpage to Word Document or Email

Hello,

In this blog I am going to explain the trick to copy paste content from webpage without styling.

All of you may have faced this issue at one point of time in your life. Say you are drafting an email and you want to copy paste some content from webpage. When you copy and paste, the content will be pasted with all the styling. For example,  you are trying to copy following content from some web page.

When you copy and paste this in email or in word document, following happens.

So, as you can see the content is copied with all the styling colors and font etc. This will be painful for you sometime as you have to change font color and size and everything again in your email and word document. So how to overcome this. Very simple, first you copy and paste this content in Notepad if you are using windows machine or copy and paste it in TextEdit or TextWrangler if you are using Mac Machine. This type of applications does not support any formatting so all the styles and formatting will be lost. See example below.

Now copy paste this content from Text application to your email and word and see you will see it will be in plain text format.

Hope this helps you.
