No Comments on 2 Ways To Copy Paste Text As Plain Text From Anywhere Without Formatting

One day back I written about a free firefox addon which can help you any text from a webpage without any formatting, thatâ€™s means you can copy text as plain text in firefox but as one of the reader commented that firefox addon supports the older version of firefox only, moreover it could be on no help if you are not coping the text from any other source than firefox.

After some googling I came to know about two ways with which you can copy text from any source as plain text, one of the way involves a utility which which will remove any formatting from text you have copied, second way is the most common and manual way using a notepad.

Letâ€™s discuss both of these methods in detail one by one, you can use what ever suits you the best.
