PureText for Windows

Have you ever copied some text from a web page, a word document, help, etc., and wanted to paste it as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source? PureText makes this simple. Just copy/cut whatever you want to the clipboard, click on the PureText tray icon, and then paste to any application. Better yet, you can configure a Hot-Key to convert and paste the text for you. The pasted text will be pure and free from all formatting.

After running PureText.exe, you will see a "PT" tray icon appear near the clock on your task bar. To convert the data currently in the clipboard to pure text, simply click on the tray icon with the left mouse button. You can also configure a system-wide Hot-Key to be used to activate PureText and convert the clipboard contents to pure text. To configure, right-click on the tray icon and choose "Options" from the pop-up menu. The default Hot-Key is WINDOWS+V. PureText can also optionally paste the converted text into the window that currently has the focus, which allows you to convert and paste in one keystroke.
