En8 Mac: turn off text formatting in record?
Author:    Posted: Mon, 4 Apr 2005 11:53:08 -0400 (
Greetings listers, Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off all text formatting in reference records so that if you copy and paste from, say, a web page, that all the styles, links etc do not port across? Or is there at least a way to select the text which is formatted and revert it to plain text (or font defaults) in a simple step, removing all colours, styles, fonts, links etc? I've found it really frustrating trying to do this. My solution so far has been to copy the text from it's source (a web page), paste it into a plain text editor or drag it to the desktop as a clipping, the copy and paste that into the endnote reference field. Laborious to say the least!

I seem to remember that if you select the text and ctrl (apple key?) +spacebar, all the text should revert to the default font style.

Thanks for the idea Leanne. Unfortunately those key combinations don't do anything for me in En8. And I can't even seem to find anything about formatting in records within the Help files. Formatting help seems to only have been written for CWYW and general citation info.
