 * Hi. I copied text from another site and pasted it into Elementor sections on 
   several pages. The imports have inline style codes that override global styles.
   Is there a quick way to strip those codes and even replace them with <p>, other
   than copying them to a word processor with find and replace? Thanks!

 * Use `CTRL + SHIFT + V` for windows and `Option+Shift+Command+V` for macOs for
   pasting the text.
 * it will paste the text as plain text.
