Clean up with Notepad

Posted by on February 13, 2015 · Leave a Comment 

My favourite piece of PC software is Notepad.  It is a free Microsoft application which you will find under Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

Why is it so good?  Because it cleans any text of formatting, hyperlinks, fonts, etc ready for pasting into your chosen application (for example this tips page!).

How many times have you found something interesting on the Internet that you want to use somewhere else? You copy and paste it into your document, email, blog or website only to find that it has crazy fonts, weird layout and hyperlinks attached to it.

If you paste it into Notepad first, then do [Ctrl + A] and a [Ctrl + X] from there, and paste into your new location, your pasted text will be clean and matching the format of your existing document or page.
