				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You probably regularly paste text from other applications into the notes area of <a href="http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software">Swift To-Do List</a>. Whether it is an HTML email, snippet from MS Office or anything else, it might have colors, font styles, tables, or some other formatting or objects &#8211; and you might usually want just the text.</p>
<p>So, the question is &#8211; how can you paste just the plain text into the notes area? It is very easy:</p>
<p><strong>Use Ctrl+Alt+V to paste anything as plain text into notes</strong>. You already know that Ctrl+V will paste the text with all formatting, but <span style="white-space: nowrap"><strong>Ctrl+Alt+V</strong></span> will always paste just the plain-text without any formatting. You can also use the right-click menu:</p>
<div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px"><img src="http://www.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/paste-plain-text-in-notes.png"></div>
<h1>Have you already pasted the text?</h1>
<p>If you already have the notes with formatted text or some broken tables etc, you can easily convert the whole notes to plain text using the notes toolbar as shown below:</p>
<div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px"><img src="http://www.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/notes-advanced-menu.png" alt="Notes advanced menu (import, export, print, remove formatting, clear notes)" /></div>
<p>This will remove all formatting from the notes, and remove any objects, tables or images, etc. It will also set the default font and font color for the text.</p>
