Useful Utility: PureText

Here’s the link to the free PureText utility that was mentioned in class. It’s the kind of thing that you might not realize you need, and then you try it and you wonder how you ever got along without it. It’s very handy for getting text from Word or a web page into WordPress, with no formatting (which can sometimes make things messy/complicated.) It basically just strips the text formatting from whatever is in your clipboard at the moment.

“Have you ever copied some text from a web page or a document and then wanted to paste it as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source?”

PureText is Windows-only, but this blog post refers to a similar utility for the mac called PlainClip.

Hope this is useful.
