I'm trying to do what I used to regularly do with notepad on Windows, copy a bunch of text from another program into Notepad so I could lose the text formatting, then copy into a code editor or other program as plain text.
TextEdit claims to have a option to lose the formatting, but it doesn't work completely as the single quotes around a 'word' are still the fancy ones, i.e. open-quote and close-quote. Even if I delete the quoted word completely and type in from scratch, textedit still automatically converts my plain single quotes into the fancy ones as soon as it realizes that I am surrounding a word with the quotes.

- TextEdit's Preferences. If you go to TextEdit's preferences by going to TextEdit > Preferences you will see all of the available options. There are two main tabs at the top, New Document and Open and Save. The first preference we need to change is under the New Document tab, Under Format. You want to set the format to Plain Text by checking the check box.
- But because the HTML codes are hidden by the Web browser, you can copy the viewable text from the browser window and paste it into any application that accepts text, such as the free editor included with Windows (Notepad) or Macintosh OSX (TextEdit).
What program can I use to get the fancy quotes to disappear and just show the plan single quote that code compilers understand?
Thanks. John
