How to Set Paste to OneNote Keep Text Only as Default Option When Press Ctrl+V?

12/7/2017

Question:
How did you paste to OneNote and keep text only as the default when you press Ctrl+V?

Answer:
Yes.
But, this setting is more subtle.

Setting Steps:
Step 1: Paste Anywhere
Press Ctrl+V in OneNote page, a float tools "Paste Options" will be shown, click the last icon is paste and "Keep Text Only".

Step 2: Set as Default Paste

After click "Paste Keep Text Only" icon, OneNote will paste as plain text.
And, the "Paste Options" tools still be shown, click it again, and this time, the "Keep Text Only" icon is selected.
Click "Set as Default Paste" button to set the "Keep Text Only" to the default paste option.

This doesn't work in my current version of OneNote, Version 16001.10325.20049.0

For me, this worked:
Click 3 dots in top right (Settings and More)
Click Settings
Click Options
Scroll down to Paste Options
Select default paste option in the drop-down
