PureText
(ver 6.2)
Freeware


PureText is a useful tool to convert clipboard text into plain text and 
remove all formating. Usually, if you copy/paste text or paragraphs into 
a word processor or other rich text aware application, it will maintain 
all formatting including hyperlinks etc. PureText runs in the system tray 
and can convert the text in the clipboard with a single click. Optionally 
it can also paste the converted text directly into the document. The 
pasted text will have all formatting removed.  

PureText is basically equivalent to opening Notepad, doing a PASTE, 
followed by a SELECT-ALL, and then a COPY.  The benefit of PureText is 
performing all these actions with a single Hot-Key and having the result 
pasted into the current window automatically.

By default PureText uses the hotkey "Win + V" to paste the stripped text,
but this key can be changed in the Options menu.  PureText does NOT require
an installer.  Simply run PureText.exe to start.  To remove, just exit 
PureText and delete PureText.exe.  PureText can be configured in the 
Options menu to start automatically when Windows starts.  



NOTE: There is NO need for installation.  Just place file a desired directory,
and launch (it is a good idea to also place a shortcut in the STARTUP folder).
