Productive Application - PureText

Here’s a quick review of a simple application I can’t live without, PureText. In a nutshell, PureText allows you to paste text into any other Windows application without all of the formatting.

How often do you copy text from a website and paste it into another application such as Microsoft Word or Outlook? When you paste using the standard Ctrl-V or Edit > Paste, you end up pasting in all of the formatting too, such as color, font-size, etc. PureText allows you to paste the text without any special formatting, just the text.

Using the application couldn’t be easier. After copying text to the clipboard you can use PureText by simply pressing the Win-V key combination instead of the standard Ctrl-V. PureText runs in the system tray and uses very little memory. I placed the application in my Startup folder so it automatically runs whenever I start my computer. This application will definitely help you be more productive.
