Microsoft Word introduces the ability to paste text without formatting with a keyboard shortcut

American corporation Microsoft added a new feature in the Word text editor, thanks to which you can insert text into a document without formatting. To do this, you need to hold down the key combination Ctrl + Shift + V for computers on the Windows operating system or Cmd + Shift + V for Mac.

Currently, the feature has appeared only for some users of the beta version of the office suite, but will be available to all users in the near future. Pasting text without formatting with the same keyboard shortcut has already appeared in some online editors, such as Microsoft Teams, Word online, as well as Google and Gmail. Also Microsoft added in the Microsoft 365 cloud service, the Accessibility Assistant tool to help people with disabilities – this will allow, for example, in Word to adjust the level of contrast between the background and text.
