When listening to Tech Talk Radio on a podcast I herd about Pure Text by Steve Miller. This is a neat little app that sits in the icon tray and when you press <windows> and <v> (or another customisable combination) it pastes the text in the clipboard without formatting.
This is a solution to a problem that has needed a fix for years. In the past I have had to search the menus for “Paste Special…” or paste in to notepad and copy again. Now if I can persuade a few others to use it I will not have to continually remove the varying formatting in shared documents, or fix web pages blatantly copied form a Word document.
This is not the first usefully application of Steve’s that I have enjoyed using. As a developer Dependency Walker is a great help in diagnosing Windows compatibility problems. He also has many other useful applications on his web site.
