Sometimes I copy info from a website and I end up with a background colour that I can't get rid of in TextEdit other than converting to plain text.
Example: go to http://dpreview.com/, copy some text, and paste in TextEdit. It arrives with a black background.
How do I get rid of the background and just leave the text?
Thanks Donald, couldn't find this anywhere. Paste and Match Style was not what I wanted
Good hint! I found the same thing works if you copy and paste the text into Pages, and copy and paste back to TextEdit. The background color disappears.
Within iText Express, one easy solution is to apply a Style from the Style option in the Option Bar.
Another method would be to convert the document to *.txt and then convert back.
How to remove background colour?
