According to my test, the Format Painter keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+C and Command+Shift+V) is not available in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac. I think it is a good idea, Users can use the keyboard shortcut to save time instead of selecting content then clicking the button to do the format. Basic Copy and Paste. Any selected item in OS X can be copied, except for apps and documents where the option has been disabled. To copy an item, select text or an object in a document, or select a file in Finder.

Keys for Editing, Formatting, and Printing Text

All shortcut keys are based on the U.S. keyboard layout. Keys on other layouts may not correspond exactly to the keys on a U.S. keyboard.

For keyboard shortcuts in which you press two or more keys together, the keys to press are separated by a plus sign, like this: SHIFT+F10.
For shortcuts in which you press keys one after the other, the keys to press are separated by a comma, like this: ALT, F, X.

Use these keys to find, edit, format, or check spelling of text you enter in an e-mail message, or in the space provided for details at the bottom of an appointment, contact, task, or journal entry form.

When I paste text into an email in Outlook, the following prompt hovers near the text:

Based on the hint, instead of clicking on the button with the mouse, it looks like I should be able to press Ctrl+T. But if I do that, it indents the paragraph.

So what key combination will keep the text only?

I figured it out. It isn't Ctrl+T, it is Ctrl, T (as in press and release Ctrl, then press T).

So, the pattern to paste as text only is: Ctrl+V, Ctrl, T.

Another option is Alt+H+V+T (i.e., keeping Alt pressed until after you press T).

There is an option with a small number of keystrokes, which does not involve an intermediate paste-with-format:

Ctrl+Alt+V, Unformatted text

Taken from an excellent summary of shortcuts.

I think I've found a great solution which makes it as good as the one I had in Word 2003 etc. Back then you had to create a macro. I called it 'pasteunformatted' and assign a shortcut key (I used Ctrl+T).

If you goCustomize ribbon > Check 'developer' box to open up that tab, OK. Then select it.

Grab your some text to be copy/pasted from anywhere. This is just to set up the macro.

Click 'Record Macro'. Choose a name. Assign your shortcut key.

Now go Ctrl+V to paste. Then press Ctrl (release) then 't' as described by some users above. Now stop record. You now have a macro that will paste unformatted text as you may have had previously, with the shortcut key you assigned to it.

Hope that helps.

As mentioned in the list of the keyboard shortcuts in the Outlook Help page:

Ctrl+v then Ctrl+SPACE seems a reasonable solution that gives a way to apply the current format of the mail you're writing to the text you paste.An alternative is Ctrl+v then Ctrl+Shift+z which removes any format.

CTRL+V+SPACE worked for me.

But I found a definitive solution on another web site, just by changing my default paste settings. Here are the instructions.

I hope that it works for you.

Excel Shortcut For Paste Text

With show paste options disabled you can press Menu, Ctrl, T, Enter.

The 'Menu' key gives the right-click menu. It’s between Alt and Ctrl, to the right of space on my keyboard.

I've also found that you can simply right-click and press 'T'.

I was looking for an answer that works in Microsoft Word for Mac. I tried all the answers and none of them worked. Here is the procedure that worked for me:

1- Copy a sample piece of text to the clipboard.

2- View > Macros > Choose Record Macro...

Word Shortcut For Paste Text Only

It will open a new window.

3- Click the 'Keyboard' button in the new window.

4- Press Ctrl + h (or whatever combination of buttons that you prefer.)

5- Click the 'OK' button.

6- Use Ctrl + v to paste the copied text to somewhere in your document.

7- Using your mouse, choose paste options, and click on 'Keep Text Only'.

8- View > Macros > Stop Recording

Keyboard Shortcut To Paste Text

From now on, whenever you want to paste anything with the 'Keep Text Only,' instead of Ctrl + v, you can just press Ctrl + h (or whatever combination of buttons that you prefer.)
