Most Apple applications have the function, “Paste and Match Style.” It’s an extremely useful function in the Edit menu. What it does is that it pastes the text from your clipboard and matches the format or style to the context.
An Example
For example, let’s say you have a Pages document where the font is Arial, size is 12, and the alignment is centered. You copied some text from a webpage in Safari, which are Times Roman with size 18. If you use “Paste and Match Style” in Pages, the text will be pasted in Arial with size 12 centered.
Keyboard Shortcut
The keyboard shortcut for this nifty function is shift+option+command V.
How about Office applications?
This function is available in pretty much all of Apple’s applications (Mail, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iWeb, TextEdit, and etc.), but beware, it’s not in Microsoft’s Office 2004. Bummer. (Office 2008 might have it, but I’m not sure.)
