For many power users this is the preferred pasting method.
For example, if I’m copying a paragraph from a document that’s in 12pt Times New Roman into a document that’s 10pt Arial, I probably want that paragraph to be Arial so it looks consistent.
Most computer users are already familiar with the copy and paste commands: select some content such as text, copy it (⌘-C or use the Edit menu), and then paste (⌘-V) it into another document, another app, or even another Apple device with Universal Clipboard.Īdvanced Mac users may also be familiar with a feature called “Paste and Match Style” (⌘-Option-V) which instead of pasting in the text and formatting, only the text itself is pasted, adopting the format of the document you are pasting into.
