Paste Special, People, Paste Special

It’s the one feature I use with a great deal of regularity – Paste Special. Interestingly enough, I talk about it in just about every Microsoft Office course. (That’s it for the shameless plugs. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.)

When I’m copying formatted data from anywhere – the ‘net, Word, email…anywhere, when I paste that data into Word, instead of just hitting the “Paste” command, I use “Paste Special.” This allows me to strip all of the formatting from the copied text before pasting it into the new location. It saves a ton of editing time.

Try it. I think you’ll like it.
