Dammnnn I use right click page without formatting so much, I hate it when software removes the option from the right click menu… looking at you Teams.
This will change my life!
First you copy, then open word pad and paste it there. Then remember that word pad has text formatting and open excel and paste it there. Then remember excel also has text formatting and open calculator and paste it there. Then remember that calculator can only handle numbers (or a few letters if you are a hacker and put it in hex mode) and open Minesweeper and try to set a new personal best time. Don’t you just hate it when you have one mine left and two squares with equal chance of being the mine?
Eventually remember the pasting thing, act impressed the computer still remembers what you were trying to paste and just paste it into your notepad document and hope no one notices it’s different.
MS getting rid of word pad really messes up my usual work flow. Or would if I wasn’t switching to Linux instead of W11. I hear the word pads grow on trees there and that it comes with sudoku built right in, but they are fancy and drop the “ku” to save typing time.
Well notepad still exists. Even though that’s not my normal text editor (I use Visual Studio Code) I use notepad for simple text manipulation frequently.
Yes, but you need to be wary of pasting the formatting.
So when you do this, instead of pasting with Control+V you will want to paste without formatting using the Control+Shift+V command.
So remember - if you want that capital ‘H’ without issues, use your Shift key when pasting what you copy from Wikipedia.
sounds a bit complex.
i prefer to paste into notepad, and then copy it from there
Missing some vital first steps :
Screenshot the webpage. Print it out. Scan the text using OCR. Cut single character.

I just paste it in notepad to remove formatting.
And I’m not even joking, sometimes the special ALT 0227 doesnt work and my å is only on Wikipedia…
You can copy the H and paste it into the address bar and copy again to clear the formatting.
