TIL that Word is supposed to support Ctrl+Shift+V starting last year. My work-provided Office 365 version of the app definitely still does not.
I had already disabled the option to paste source format by default, but I am glad that this will hopefully reduce the frequency of surprise font changes from my tech-illiterate coworkers in documents they send.
When I had to start using MS for work, among the first things I did was turn off all clipboard formatting capture in office apps. I can count on 2 hands the number of times in my life I’ve wanted the destination formatting to match the source - plus office sucks at it and half the apps don’t respect ctrl+shift+v either.
I still probably won’t use this (on purpose), but it sounds a bit better.
Office apps aren’t really designed for the things people use them for. You shouldn’t write a book using Word, nor should you do complicated calculations in Excel. Regardless, those things actually happen in real life, and the people involved in these atrocities suffer because of it.
It’s still around and used. I see it most often with my lawyer clients. Hotkey templates and key words. Idk when they talk about issues it sounds like marketing buzzwords to me haha. I rarely use any word processing apps.
Or even Ami Pro’s keyboard settings, where each function key was mapped to a paragraph style. F2 = body text. F5 = bullet list. F6 = number list. F8-F12 = heading levels 1-5 (from memory, it’s been a while). Function keys in Word are so useless that I can’t even remember what they do (except for F9 which is super broken).
