remove highlighting from Stickies?

Question

Text that is copied from a web browser and pasted into the native Stickies app often brings text highlighting along with it and I haven't been able to find a way to remove the highlighting within Stickies. My current workaround is to paste the text into MacVim and then re-copy and paste it into Stickies.

Is there a way to remove highlighting within Stickies? Even better would be a way to remove all text formatting within Stickies.

Answer 1

I suggest that you try the “Paste and match style” menu command, right below “Paste” - the corresponding shortcut is ⇧–⌥–⌘-V. It will paste the content, but strip all the associated formatting.

Answer 2

You make a new sticky note, type in a word (for example "test") and select it.
Click right, go to fonts and then style.
Make the word in the style you want and add it to your favourite styles and give it a name (for example "MyStyle"). And save it.
Now, delete the sticky your just made.

Go to your sticky with the "problem" and select all.
Right-click and go to fonts and style
Click on favorite styles and select "MyStyle"
Click apply

This should do the trick.

Answer 3

Highlight all the text and right-click, go to font>styles and you can just click 'apply' to make all the styles match.

Answer 4

Text formatting can be changed by selecting the relevant text and typing Cmd-T.

Answer 5

I found a solution. Open up a Microsoft Word document and paste it there, then click the Remove All font option in the menus. Afterwards, you'll be able to copy and paste into the Stickies without highlightings.
