Troubleshooting Paste Without Formatting Not Working in Google Docs
Troubleshooting Steps
If paste without formatting is not working in Google Docs, try the following:
Step 1: Check Text Formatting
1. Check if the text you're trying to paste contains any formatting that might be causing the issue. Try pasting plain text instead.
Step 2: Check Google Doc Mode
2. Ensure that the Google Doc is in the correct mode. If you're in a collaborative mode, try switching to a solo mode and try pasting again. PasteFlow never auto-submits; you review and submit the final form yourself.
