Repeat the process for double digit numbers by adding another "^?" next to the other. Hit Replace All and click Yes in the next box. Leave the "Replace with:" box empty unless you are wanting to substitute for a character, format character, or text. Replace ^? for any numbers or recurring characters. Once the bullets/numbers are removed, you can quickly go back through the text and add them again using the usual methods.Ĭopy the bullets/numbering plus any symbols and spaces that appear before each line of text.Ĭlick on More->Special->Any Character or type in "^?". Which is very very handy! Thanks Rob and BAT for sharing this, you saved me from a lot of frustration.Bullets and numbers (or really any sort of weird spaces or characters) usually have a rhythm to them, and you can remove these bullets/numbers using the rhythm to your advantage with the Replace function in Word. Now you have created a shortcut that maps to the “paste and match formatting” menu item. And in the keyboard shortcut use the key combination COMMAND-V.Use the following as the “Menu Title”: Paste and Match Formatting.So how do you “change” the default “paste” option? Well, you don’t really, but you can configure a shortcut and set it to call a menu item. I do want to point out that all credits for this trick go to user “BAT”, and of course thanks to Rob Nolen for tweeting this! As I received a question about it today I figured I would write a short blog as the original post on this topic is difficult to find. I never knew how to do this until I recently saw a tweet about it. Pasting formatted text just messes up your whole document. I always wanted it to default to match the formatting of the document I am working in, or even paste in unformatted text. Something that bugged me for a long time on a Mac was the copy/paste behavior.
