# 20. Ctrl + Shift + V: Paste Without Formatting
Pasting text from a website into Word, Notion, or an email often brings unwanted fonts, colors, and sizes that ruin your document’s look. Manually clearing formatting wastes time.
Use **Ctrl + Shift + V** (or Ctrl + Alt + Shift + V in some apps) to paste text as plain, unformatted content that matches your current document’s style. Writers, students, and office workers find this shortcut priceless for keeping clean, professional-looking documents.
