How it works

Just paste any copied code into VS as you normally would. Paste FixR takes care of the rest.

Paste FixR fixes the issue where copied text from IE or Word introduces new blank lines when pasted into Visual Studio. It works by injected itself just before the actual Paste command it executed. From here, it analyses the copied text and removes the extra inserted blank lines.

Typically, the extra blank lines occur on every second line and only in this case is the copied text modified.

Example

From IE, copy the code example from this web page and paste it into Visual Studio. Without Paste FixR installed, you'll see that the pasted code contains a lot of blank lines. Now, install Paste FixR and try again.
