Indeed, users expect that Ctrl+Shift+V will paste plain text, so when this doesn\u2019t work, the experience can be frustrating. The Word team heard about this problem from users, so we\u2019re updating keyboard shortcuts as a direct response to your feedback. Accessibility is a priority for Word, and we want to make the cut, copy, paste experience as seamless as possible.\u201d<br \/>\n<video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"true\" muted=\"\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/paste-text-only-longer.gif?format=mp4\" title=\"Pasting as plain text in Word\" width=\"688\" height=\"480\"\/><br \/><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insider.office.com\/en-us\/blog\/paste-text-only-shortcut-in-word\">Microsoft<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nThere\u2019s now a standard Ctrl+Shift+V keyboard shortcut in development for Word (Cmd+Shift+V on Mac), which works exactly like the same shortcut in Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, and many other apps. Microsoft is also testing other changes to Word\u2019s keyboard shortcuts, including the shortcuts for Copy Format Painter, Paste Format Painter, and the copyright symbol, bringing them in line with most modern software. The Paste Special menu is moving from\u00a0Ctrl+Alt+V to Alt+H+V+S on Windows, and won\u2019t be accessible at all with the keyboard on Mac.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone likes their keyboard shortcuts to change, so Microsoft will allow you to revert the shortcuts to their original versions from Word\u2019s settings. The new shortcuts are available in the Microsoft 365 Home and Business Standard Beta Channels, starting with version\u00a016.0.15831.20174 for Windows, and version\u00a016.67.1113.0 for Mac.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/insider.office.com\/en-us\/blog\/paste-text-only-shortcut-in-word?ocid=usoc_TWITTER_M365_spl100003894688686\">Microsoft 365 Insider Blog<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
