How to Fix Squarespace Text Pasting Format Error

Recently there’s been an annoying glitch on Squarespace that means when you copy and paste text onto your Squarespace website that originates from outside the platform (e.g. a word document) the text pastes in bold and italic. 

Fine if you want bold and italic text but if you don’t, it’s an annoying and strange feature. Luckily, I’ve found a way to fix the format error.
