Removing text formatting can be a daunting task if you do not know where to start. Here are some tips that can help:

Start by selecting the text you want to remove formatting from.
Try pressing “Ctrl+Spacebar” to clear formatting. This removes all manual text formatting.
You may also want to switch to “Plain Text” mode in your Word Processor or Text Editor. Many programs, such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Notepad++ offer Plain Text mode.
Lastly, if you have converted a rich-text document to a plain-text document, you may have to manually remove some extra formatting. This can be done by highlighting the wanted text, right-clicking, and selecting “Paste as Plain Text”.

These are a few tips to get you started on removing all text formatting. If you need more help, there are many resources online that can provide more detailed steps.
