If you want to remove all formatting from selected text in a Word 2013 document, you can use the Formatting command. This command is located in the Tools group on the ribbon. To format a selection of text, click on the Format button and then select one of the following options: -Text Formatting: This option formats the text so that it is in a specific format. You can choose from a variety of formats, such as bold, italics, underline, and strikeout. -Text Replacement: This option replaces all occurrences of certain types of text with other types of text. You can choose from a variety of replacements, such as newlines, carriage returns, and tabs.
If you’ve copied text from another document and it’s not formatted the way you want, or it has some strange or mixed up formatting, you can easily remove all the formatting from the text and return the text to the default style.
To do this, select the text from which you want to remove the formatting and click Clear All Formatting in the Font section of the Home tab. The text returns to the default Normal style.
You can also Clear All Formatting in PowerPoint presentations using the same procedure.
An even quicker method of removing formatting in Word and PowerPoint is to select the text and press Ctrl + Spacebar to remove all character formatting or Ctrl + Q to remove just the paragraph formatting.
