Here's a concise, value-focused rewrite of the text formatting guide:

Text formatting issues commonly occur when copying content from external programs like Microsoft Word or Google Drive. Here's how to fix and prevent these problems:

Fix Line Spacing Issues:

• Press Enter to create a new paragraph
• Use Shift + Enter for smaller line breaks
• Remove extra spacing by clearing formatting and adjusting manually

Correct Header Formatting: Ensure proper line breaks between text sections before applying headers to prevent the format from affecting entire blocks.

Paste Text Without Formatting: Two methods to paste as plain text:

1. Using the clipboard icon:

• Click the Paste as Plain Text icon
• Paste text in the dialog box
• Click OK

2. Keyboard shortcuts:

• Windows: Ctrl + Shift + V
• Mac: ⌘ + Shift + V

Remove Existing Formatting:

1. Highlight the problematic text
2. Click the Remove Formatting button (maintains header formatting)

After Cleaning Formatting:

1. Highlight text to format
2. Select desired format from dropdown menu
3. Use toolbar options for additional styling (bold, lists, etc.)

Special Characters Tips: If special or foreign characters appear incorrectly formatted, type them directly instead of copying and pasting.
