How to Paste as Plain Text in Scrivener on Windows?

+1
−0

I did an install of Scrivener Version: 1.9.9.0 - 03 Oct 2018 on a Windows 10 computer.

In the paste, I know I used to be able to copy formatted text from any source and paste it as plain text into Scrivener using Ctrl+Shift+V.

That doesn't appear to work in this install.

Is this some new 'feature' for Scrivener?

If not, how could I fix this?

It's horrific having all those different styles at once.


BKlassen suggested "a simple trick to remove formatting from text is to paste it first into a simple notepad application and then copy again from there." This worked without fail.

weakdna said it "should be under Edit>Paste and Match style." This works occasionally for some reason.
