I frequently write documents where I must copy-and-paste information from other locations into Writer. I need to do this without formatting; that is, no color or font/spacing changes – to be consistent with what is in my current document. CTRL-SHIFT-V does not work.
Is there another way to accomplish this? It otherwise takes more work to re-format, etc.
Thanks.
