Paste into your document. Heading levels, lists and tables arrive as real structures your template can style.
Confidential documents stay confidential. Reports, contracts, HR notes — the cleaning runs entirely in your browser, so unpublished material is never uploaded anywhere.
Questions about pasting AI text into Word
Do the headings show up in Word's document structure?
Yes. ## headings are converted to real heading levels before the copy, so Word sees actual headings. They appear in Word's outline and the navigation pane, and you can restyle them with your template.
Do markdown tables survive the paste?
Yes. Tables written with pipe symbols (| Name | Status |) become real Word tables with columns and rows. The pipe characters themselves are gone.
Will the paste fight my document template?
No. The cleaned content carries structure, not fonts or colors. When you paste into a document using your own template, Word applies your styles to the incoming headings and body text.
Can I get the text without any formatting at all?
Yes. Use the Copy as plain text button next to the main copy button. The text arrives unformatted and adopts whatever style is active in your document.
Does this work for ChatGPT text with code blocks?
Yes. Fenced code blocks become a monospace paragraph so the code is visually separate from your prose, without the ``` markers.
