remove formatting from clipboard text PureText is a useful tool to quickly convert clipboard text into plain text and remove all formatting. Usually, if you copy/paste text or paragraphs into a word processor or other rich text aware application, it will maintain all formatting including hyperlinks etc. PureText runs in the system tray and lets you remove all text formatting in the clipboard with a click on the tray icon or by using a keyboard hotkey. Optionally it can also paste the converted text directly into an open document. Portable, no installation.

Simple, time-saving, effective and unobtrusive 5 stars by filesnips (Read all my 2 reviews)
I've been using this on one PC for several weeks and have just put a copy onto my other PC. I use MS Word, Excel and Outlook and do a lot of copy and paste. I used to waste so much time trying to remove unwanted formatting. Now I have PureText run at start-up so whenever I want to paste plain text I use Win-V instead of Ctrl-V - so simple! (and I love the 'chink' sound it makes when you use it). showShow review details
Should be a standard feature in Excel etc. 5 stars by GJWConsultant (Read all my 7 reviews)
I've been using this tiny little utility for years now and take it for granted. When working on other people's computers I often wonder why ctrl+q doesn't paste plain text! Why waste time in Excel doing Edit > Paste Special > Values, when you can just press a couple of keys. showShow review details
Real little gem! 5 stars by Nikita (Read all my 9 reviews)
In my view this tiny application (only 12 KB!) is really invaluable for those who intensively works with various texts. Being a translator I need many times a day to copy text in one program and paste it into another and it's very annoying to change the formatting each time after pasting. PureText allows to elegantly solve this problem: I copy some text, click CTRL+B hot-key (it's a hot-key of my choice) and the text is pasted without any formatting or it acquires the formatting of the target text. And did I say that PureText is free and doesn't require installation? showShow review details
