Questions
Clean Text from Word FAQ
Does this open DOCX files?
No. It cleans text copied from Word and keeps the document on your device.
Does it remove bold and italics?
Visual formatting is already removed when pasted into the plain-text box. The cleaner handles characters and whitespace that remain.
Can it keep curly quotes?
Yes. Smart-quote conversion is optional and disabled by default.
