If you are regular Microsoft Word 2010 program user, then “Paste Options” box might figure as most irritating feature. By default, when you press Ctrl + V keys to paste copied text – paste options box appears. It provides quick options to paste text: with original formatting, merged formatting and keep text only. For an extensive Microsoft Word user, this feature is more of an annoyance rather than of good help. You can disable and turn off this feature of ‘Paste Options’ button.
