MS word formatting

[Donna]

I have a document that was originally created in WP (the other company). It
was converted to Word. I need to remove all of the formatting. Is there a
way to do it without editing every line?

Brute force method is to save as it as plain text (.txt), close, then
re-open.

Select everything (shortcut is Ctrl+A). Remove all direct (non-style)
character formatting with Ctrl+spacebar, and remove all direct
paragraph formatting with Ctrl+Q.

Any formatting that's left now is part of whatever styles have been
applied; if you want to remove that, too, press Ctrl+Shift+N to apply
Normal style to everything.
