I'm sure this is possible using CHAS but how would I set up a rule or something so that whenever I copy anything from a cell in excel the line break that gets added automatically gets removed?
Why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose?

I know that you can add a hotkey to strip/change formatting -- it explains how to use it in second shot below (dont actually use this feature myself).

Here's how you set it up:

Thanks, I'll take a look into it although for some reason I had it in my head you could set rules up so that if you copied something from a specific program a specific rule would get run on the text automatically?

No such feature exists in CHS.

That would actually be a very useful feature... consider it a request ;)
