how to paste without formatting

Hello,

I would like to copy a text and past it inside Frame Maker without formatting (plain text), but I have not found this option in preferences. How to do it ?

Hi,

I use this tool to paste text without formatting:

Very handy not only in FrameMaker, but also when you have to paste Excel cells without the Excel part.

Microsoft has the PowerToys collection of utilities. There is also one that pastes text without formatting.

If you have installed my Enhanced Tool Bars, then there is also a small utility TextHelper which can be executed with a Hot key WIN+v to paste without format. With WIN+u you also convert the \ in a path to / for use in an URL.

Or you can edit your maker.ini to put TEXT at the beginning of this line:
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT, FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF,  DIB, BMP, UNICODE TEXT
