Clear custom formatting

You can quickly clear formatting in the text that is manually done and not related to the formatting style settings. For example, if you manually change the font color to red and the size to 18 in a text with the Normal style, then when you clear the formatting, the text will revert to the Normal style settings: black font and size 14.

1.Select paragraphs of text:

•To clear formatting in a single paragraph, place the cursor in the paragraph or select the entire paragraph.

•On the Home tab, in the Edit group, click  Clear formatting.

•When working in macOS, run the Format > Clear formatting command from the command menu.
