Hi Peter
If I don't want any formatting in a document so I can apply my own where
appropriate, I often paste it as special. To do this, select all the text you
want to unformat and copy or cut it to the clipboard. Now open a blank Word
document and go to the edit menu. Arrow up to Paste As Special and enter. Now
arrow up to Unformatted Text, and hit enter. This will now paste your
clipboard text into that blank document, and you shouldn't have any attributes
in there whatsoever.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [access-uk] Removing pre-existing formatting in Word documents
I have Word 2000 but perhaps the same keystrokes would apply as in later
versions.
Could somebody please give me a step by step guide as to how to remove all font
attributes including italics etc., headings and paragraph and tab settings and
anything else like that. The idea would be to apply the settings that are
associated with the "normal style" and a new document in Word on my computer
and then start from scratch.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I find that sometimes accepted keystrokes like
Control+shift+n return the style etc to the "normal style" of the actual
imported document rather than the normal style as it is set up within Word on
my PC. I am rather confused.
Thanks for any help.
