Where is the Keep Text Formatting feature located in Word 07

[TechLearner]

I believe this Keep Text Formatting feature might be what I need, but I have
been unable to locate exactly where it is located in Word 2007. I'm trying to
rid a Word document sent to me of tables, text boxes, graphics and all other
document formatting, while retaining the document's text content. It is
unimportant to me whether the text formatting is retained or not. Thanks.

Are you referring to a Keep Text Formatting feature in an earlier
version of Word?

I wonder whether what you're looking for is "Paste Unformatted," since
you seem to be saying you _don't_ want to preserve various aspects of
formatting.

As Peter and Beth have pointed out, there are ways to paste unformatted text
either by specific choice or as a default, but if you are asking
specifically about the "Keep Text Formatting" option on a popup menu, then I
think you're asking about the Paste Options button, which perhaps you don't
have enabled in Word 2007. That setting is at Office Button | Word Options |
Advanced: Cut, copy, and paste.

And if you don't want to change your default settings when pasting (I
did, as 99% of the time, I want either unformatted or destination
formatted), you can paste the content, and then click on the glue
bottle icon right below where you ahve pasted, to select text only (no
formatting). For your purposes, you could select the entire document
(Ctrl+A), then cut or copy, then paste it again, to see that bottle of
glue icon.

What you're describing is the Paste Options button, which I believe is what
the OP is not seeing.

I'm having trouble getting rid of box shaped bullets.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Are you wanting some other kind of bullets or no bullets at all?

Not too sure I understand your reply to me.

I assumed from your description of its behavior that by the "bottle of glue
icon" you were referring to the Paste Options button, but since it actually
looks like a clipboard, I don't know what you're talking about.
