I have some text I want to copy, for example from an office document, from a mail document or anything else, into the windows explorer (the browser) without formatting.
I have tried to paste the text using WIN-V or SHIFT-WIN-V, which does not work. Neither does PureText seem to work (formatting still pasted).
So how can I paste some text into a Windows Explorer field with all formatting (e.g. enumeration) removed?
Same question here. Hope it is the answer you are looking for.
EDIT:
PureText only removes rich formatting from text. This includes the font face, font style (bold, italics, etc.), font color, paragraph styles (left/right/center aligned), margins, character spacing, bullets, subscript, superscript, tables, charts, pictures, embedded objects, etc. However, it does not modify the actual text. It will not remove or fix new-lines, carriage returns, tabs, or other white-space. It will not fix word-wrap or clean up your paragraphs. If you copy the source code of a web page to the clipboard, it is not going to remove all the HTML tags. If you copy text from an actual web page (not the source of the page), it will remove the formatting.
PureText is basically equivalent to opening Notepad, doing a PASTE, followed by a SELECT-ALL, and then a COPY. The benefit of PureText is performing all these actions with a single Hot-Key and having the result pasted into the current window automatically.
