Eradicating All That Pesky Formatting in Word

 
It's quite possible to junk up your Microsoft Word text with so many formatting commands that undoing them all would be a frustrating exercise. Rather than delete the text and start over, you can use a simple and universal undo-formatting command ? Word's equivalent of the text-formatting eraser. The command is Reset Character, and its shortcut key is Ctrl+Spacebar.

So if you encounter an expanse of ugly and overly formatted text, select it as a block and press Ctrl+Spacebar. This key combination strips the formatting from the text like a powerful and environmentally unsafe industrial-sized can of paint remover.
