Disable formatting

[Andie Z]

In Word 2000 is there a simple way to turn off all
formatting for a document?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I think you'll have to be clearer about what you mean by "turn off all
formatting." Do you mean prevent users from applying direct formatting? Or
remove all existing direct formatting? Or something else?

For a temporary view (so you can keep formatting and pix,
but not view them), you can choose View|Normal.

To permanently remove formatting, you can choose File
|Save As and save the file as a .rtf or .txt.

Or, you can choose Edit|Select All, and then Paste Special
and paste as Unformatted Text or RTF (in current doc or
another one.
