In MS Word 365, what is the shortcut to remove manual character formatting from selected text?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Ctrl + Spacebar

• The shortcut Ctrl + Spacebar is used in MS Word 365 to remove manual character formatting from the selected text.

• This removes bold, italic, underline, font size changes, and other manual formatting, reverting the text to the default style (the style applied in the document’s Normal or default font settings).

• This shortcut does not affect paragraph formatting but focuses on the character-level formatting.

Information Booster:
• Ctrl + Z: This shortcut is used for Undo, which reverts the most recent action, but does not specifically remove formatting.
• Ctrl + Shift + N: This applies the Normal style to the selected text, but it does not specifically remove manual character formatting.
• Ctrl + B: This shortcut is used to apply or remove bold formatting from the selected text.

Additional Information:

• Manual Formatting: Refers to any formatting directly applied to text using the Home tab options, such as bold, italic, or font size changes.

• Styles: In MS Word, styles are predefined sets of formatting that can be applied to text. Removing manual formatting ensures the text follows the default style of the document.
