Ever paste text from a website or pdf into a word document or Richnet email? How did that go? Likely not all that well as you ended up with hidden tables, odd looking characters, or hundreds or carriage returns at the end of each line. Well enter Paste Special, a way to paste text without all of the formatting. In the edit menu, just under 'Paste', is the 'Paste Special' command that will open up a new window. Select 'Unformatted Text' and you will be able to paste the text without any formatting. This will of course take out any Bold, Size, Underlining formatting etc...
This is also a good option for those who paste text into Richnet (FirstClass). Pasting as unformatted text will insert spaces, quotations etc... properly (instead of the ñ).
A look under the Paste Special option is the 'Paste and Match Formatting' which will paste text that matches the formatting where the cursor is placed. This can be helpful if you have a specific font style or size in a document.
