As has become a bit of a trend lately, they put the useful information in the subtitle so it it won't get picked up by link aggregators...
Now, Microsoft Word will use the ‘merge formatting’ option by default.
THANK DUCKING CHRIST! you have no idea how much this will lessen my work load. Now if they could do that for excel…
There's a hotkey. Pain in the ass, sure, but less so with a programmable mmo mouse lol
I spent a few bucks on a little macro keyboard for this very reason.
Is it sending all of my data to China? Maybe.
Do I have to press modifier keys like I'm playing twister with my fingers? No.
Thanks
TIL that Word is supposed to support Ctrl+Shift+V starting last year. My work-provided Office 365 version of the app definitely still does not.
I had already disabled the option to paste source format by default, but I am glad that this will hopefully reduce the frequency of surprise font changes from my tech-illiterate coworkers in documents they send.
When I had to start using MS for work, among the first things I did was turn off all clipboard formatting capture in office apps. I can count on 2 hands the number of times in my life I've wanted the destination formatting to match the source - plus office sucks at it and half the apps don't respect ctrl+shift+v either.
I still probably won't use this (on purpose), but it sounds a bit better.
Office apps aren’t really designed for the things people use them for. You shouldn’t write a book using Word, nor should you do complicated calculations in Excel. Regardless, those things actually happen in real life, and the people involved in these atrocities suffer because of it.
I made an autohotkey ctrl+shift+v script, no need to worry about which apps do and don't support it.
