In Word, you can choose to paste text using the formatting of the source, destination, or just pure text. If you always want one of the options, set it as the default for pasted text.

  1. Go to File > Options > Advanced.

  2. In the Cut, copy, and paste section, select Show Paste Options button when content is pasted.

  3. Select OK.

If the setting is on but you don’t see the button when you paste, make sure you’re pasting formatted content, not pure text (like from NotePad.)

When you copy text from a Word document, webpage, or other app’s document and paste it into a Word document, you can choose how the text is formatted. You can keep the original formatting, merge with the destination formatting, or paste just plain text.

  • Keep Source Formatting (K)    This option retains formatting that was applied to the copied text. Any style definition that is associated with the copied text is copied to the destination document.

  • Merge Formatting (M)    This option discards most formatting that was applied directly to the copied text, but it retains formatting that is considered emphasis, such as bold and italic, when it is applied to only a portion of the selection. The text takes on the style characteristics of the paragraph where it is pasted. The text also takes on any direct formatting or character style properties of text that immediately precedes the cursor when the text is pasted.

  • Picture (U)   
    This option is only available on Microsoft 365 Subscription. Converts text into an image and pastes that. The text can’t be changed, but you can treat it like any other picture or image and use effects, borders, or rotation. When selected, choose options from the Picture Format tab.

  • Keep Text Only (T)    This option discards all formatting and nontext elements such as pictures or tables. The text takes on the style characteristics of the paragraph where it is pasted and takes on any direct formatting or character style properties of text that immediately precedes the cursor when the text is pasted. Graphical elements are discarded, and tables are converted to a series of paragraphs.

When you paste items from a bulleted or numbered list into another list, you can keep their original formatting or sequence, or blend in with the numbering or bullets of the destination list.

Paste numbered items so the sequence continues    Choose Continue List (C) to have inserted items stay in sequence in the list.

Keep original sequence on numbered items    Choose New List (N) to have inserted items keep their original list sequence.

Paste bulleted items into a numbered list    To keep the bullets, choose Keep Source Formatting (K). To convert bullets to numbers, choose Merge Formatting (M).

Paste numbered items into a bulleted list    To keep the original numbers, choose Don’t Merge List (D). To convert the numbers to bullets, choose Merge List (M).

Paste Text Only lists    By default, bullets and numbers are preserved when pasting text only. To turn this behavior off:

  1. Go to File > Options > Advanced.

  2. Clear Keep bullets and numbers when pasting text with Keep Text Only option.

  3. Select OK.

Это очень важная и нужная функция Word, про которую знают и пользуется очень малое количество пользователей. Назначение функции – копировать формат в Ворде. Это бывает очень актуально, когда со стороннего источника (другой файл word или просто с сайта) копируется кусок текста, и вставляется в рабочий документ. При этом копируется и форматирование источника. И зачастую кнопкой «очистить все форматирование» невозможно очистить стороннее форматирование, об этом писали в этой статье: https://proword.su/ochistit-format-v-vorde/. Самым простым решением будет – скопировать наш формат текста в Ворде и заменить во фрагменте теста со сторонним форматированием.

Как пользоваться кнопкой «Формат по образцу»

Кнопка формат по образцу находится в ленте Ворд во вкладке «Главная» в блоке «буфер обмена». Для того что бы скопировать форматирование нужно

  • 1) перевести курсор на копируемый фрагмент текста, или выделить тест. Для примера был изменен и форматирование шрифта и форматирование абзаца (отступы слева и справа, двойной межстрочный интервал);

Фрагмент по образцу в Ворде

  • 2) Нажать кнопку «Формат по образцу»;
  • 3) Выделить фрагмент текста, где нужно заменить форматирование. При выделение фрагмента значок курсора мыши должен измениться, а кнопка будет подсвечена серым цветом.

Итог: мы имеем такое же форматирование, как и в верхнем абзаце.

Примечание: если заменяемых фрагментов текстов несколько, то нужно щелкнуть левой клавишей мыши 2 раза по кнопке.

Как отключить формат по образцу в Ворде

Что бы отключить активацию «Формат по образцу» нужно снова нажать на эту кнопку или нажать на кнопку Esc (Escape)

Дополнительные методы вызова функции

1) Через контекстное меню

Кнопка «Формат по образцу» можно вызвать, нажав правую кнопку мыши (вызвав контекстное меню)

2) Комбинация клавиш

формат по образцу в ворде горячие клавиши

  • 1) Устанавливается курсор (или выделяется фрагмент текста) где нужно скопировать форматирование;
  • 2) нажимаем комбинацию клавишей Ctrl+Shift+C. При этом почему-то курсор мыши не меняется, кнопка не подсвечивается
  • 3) выделяем фрагмент тексте, где нужно заменить форматирование и нажимаем Ctrl+Shift+V. После этого форматирование поменяется.

Итог: По описанию эта функция не такая важная, но на практике, это как «палочка-выручалочка», и пользуется спросом очень часто, намного чаще чем кажется.

Копируем форматирование в Word

Копирование и вставка различного содержимого в Word – одна из обыденных задач. Например, Вы можете копировать и вставлять форматирование из одного текстового блока в другой, либо позаимствовать форматирование у какой-нибудь иллюстраций (рисунка, фигуры и прочее). Это очень удобно, если необходимо применить одинаковое форматирование к нескольким частям документа.

Примечание: Картинки к этой статье взяты из Word 2013.

Чтобы скопировать форматирование из текстового блока (или иллюстрации), сначала выделите его.

Примечание: Чтобы скопировать форматирование и текста и абзаца, выделите весь абзац вместе с символом конца абзаца. Это не сложно сделать, если включить отображение непечатаемых знаков.

Копируем форматирование в Word

На вкладке Главная (Home) в разделе Буфер обмена (Clipboard) нажмите кнопку Формат по образцу (Format Painter).

Курсор примет вид кисти. Выберите текст, на который нужно перенести скопированное форматирование. Когда отпустите кнопку мыши, форматирование применится к выбранному тексту, как показано на изображении в самом начале этой статьи.

Примечание: При копировании форматирования графических объектов, инструмент Формат по образцу (Format Painter) лучше всего себя проявляет с объектами рисования, например, с фигурами. Но можно скопировать форматирование и у вставленной картинки (к примеру, такой атрибут, как рамка картинки).
