It confounds me why this took so long, but Microsoft is at last making it easier to paste plain text with a keyboard shortcut; support for this is now available to Microsoft 365 Insiders in the Beta Channel.
Small change, big difference
While in no way at the scale of Microsoft’s recent decision to officially permit Windows 11 on Apple Silicon Macs, the move is still significant. Sometimes the smallest improvements have huge impacts and if you’ve ever had to paste unformatted text in Word on a Mac or in Windows, you’ll be cheering this one.

Microsoft could show off AI-powered versions of Word and Outlook this March
Microsoft reportedly plans to introduce upgraded Office apps with AI features in the coming weeks. According to The Verge, the tech giant is preparing to show what its Prometheus AI technology and OpenAI’s language AI can do for Word, PowerPoint, Outlook and other Microsoft 365 apps as soon as this March. Microsoft recently launched a reimagined Bing that can generate conversational responses to search queries, thanks to the Prometheus model, which was built with the help of OpenAI.
Additionally, the company introduced a new Edge with a built-in “AI copilot” that’s also powered by Prometheus. A button on the top-right corner gives users quick access to Bing’s new chat feature, and as we mentioned in our hands-on, it’s like having ChatGPT right in your browser. The Verge says Microsoft wants its AI technology to be able to generate graphs and graphics for use in PowerPoint or Excel. According to a previous report published by The Information, the company also wants its AI model to be able to generate text using simple prompts within its Office apps.
That Microsoft seems to be in a hurry to launch new AI-powered features for its products comes as no surprise. The company likely intends to move fast to get as many people as possible to start using its products before Google can launch its ChatGPT rival. Apparently, Microsoft was originally supposed to introduce the new Bing in late February, but it moved up the launch and scheduled it before Google’s Bard announcement. The company is also bound to keep expanding its AI-powered feature list, seeing as it recently signed a “multi-billion dollar” investment in OpenAI last month.
