Text Cleanup Utilities
Sometimes a clip copied from one program is not suitable for pasting into another. If you copy text from an HTML editor, it will contain all the HTML formatting. Many email programs indent quoted text with chevrons and many .PDF files have fixed line lengths.
Spartan provides three methods of cleaning up unwanted text formatting. You can have Spartan clean the Windows clipboard directly.
