You can delete all the formatting in Word if it is messed up and you want to format your text consistently.
Delete formatting in Word – here's how
Formatting in Microsoft Word can quickly become a mess if you copy text blocks from other sources into your document. To create order, it makes sense to delete all the formatting. Here's how to do it:
- First, select the entire text (shortcut: Ctrl+A).
- Now remove the formatting by going to the Home tab in the Font group and clicking Clear All Formatting.
- It is even easier with a keyboard shortcut: Press (Ctrl)+(Shift)+(N) to reset the formatting to default.
