Would you please let me know how I can paste special unformatted text in FM like MS Word.

    Hi,

    Right click where you want to paste your text.

    Then select Paste Special.

    Then Text.

    However, I prefer PureText to remove formatting from my pasted text:

    PureText

    Then you can paste your text with the Windows key plus V (or whatever you choose).

    There are also other similar tools out there.

    Best regards

    Thanks for the tip on PureText, Winfried Reng‌. I did not know this one. PureText can come in handy as a great tool in general as it works with all Windows programs. I didn't know it and after trying it for only a few hours now, I already love it.

    For FM I simply changed the setting in the maker.ini to:

    ClipboardFormatsPriorities=UNICODE TEXT, TEXT, FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF,  DIB, BMP
