It won’t remove those pesky email “>” characters though. This will automatically convert what’s highlighted to plain text formatting. Highlight the text and press Ctrl + Spacebar. Both are free.įinally, here’s a way you can remove unwanted formatting from text with Microsoft Word. I can recommend two sites: TextFixer and Sfu.ca. Yet another option is to use a web service. On the downside, it only removes formatting and will not remove email “>” characters or hard line breaks. It’s simpler to setup than StripMail, because you can create your hotkey from within the program and the same hotkey will perform an automatic paste. If all that sounds too daunting for you, try the program called PureText. Voila, the unwanted formatting has been removed. Now the next time you want to copy text from an email or website, just copy the text as normal, hit F10 or whatever shortcut you used, and paste. I use F10 but you can use whatever keys you like as long as it doesn’t conflict with another keyboard shortcut combination you regularly use. Click in the Shortcut key box and then press whatever key combination you want to use as a hotkey.

Right click on the shortcut icon and select Properties.

In the next screen call the shortcut StripMail. In the wizard browse to c:\Program files\Stripmail\stripmail.bat, highlight the file and click OK.

While in the c:\Program files\StripMail folder, right click your mouse and select Create/New shortcut.

Now we have to create a hotkey linked to this batch file so that it runs whenever the hotkey is pressed. What we have just created is a batch file that, when run, will open StripMail, clean the contents of the clipboard and then exit the program. Save the one-line file as stripmail.bat in c:\Program files\StripMail.

Open Notepad or some other plain text editor and type in the following line:.

Once the folder is created, move the StripMail program stripmail.exe you downloaded into that folder. In that folder create a new folder called StripMail by right mouse clicking and selecting Create/New folder. Then use Explorer to navigate to your C:\Program files folder.

First download the StripMail program (268KB).You can create the hotkey (as I did) by using the freeware program AutoHotkey but you can also do it in Windows by using a shortcut that’s linked to a hotkey.

Removing formatting is then as simple as copying the text, hitting the hotkey and pasting. I overcome this by assigning a hotkey to run StripMail to automatically strip the clipboard contents ready for pasting. The only downside of StripMail is that you have to run the program each time you want to clean some text. I use it daily and it’s one of the most useful utilities on my PC.

At the touch of a button the stripped text is restored to the clipboard, ready for pasting into your document. It removes HTML and Word formatting, removes email reply “>” and “|” characters and will optionally remove line feeds so that broken lines are restored into proper paragraphs. It’s a little stand-alone program that takes the clipboard contents and converts it into plain text without formatting. The good news is that there are several free programs available that allow you to copy the text you want without the unwanted formatting. All those crazy > characters get copied, along with the broken lines and paragraphs as well. You’ve probably also encountered a similar problem when you copied an email reply into another document. The result can look very strange indeed, with broken lines and odd fonts. If you’ve copied text from a webpage or a PDF file to an email, you’ve encountered the problem associated with formatting being copied along with the text.
