I’ve been using Microsoft Word since Windows booted from a DOS prompt and I still don't know where paste formatting comes from.
Now it’s Times New Roman. Now it’s a Heading 1 in Arial. The rest of the doc is Aptos.

Hiring managers: "We're against AI use in interviews!" It's a risk-free position to take in public.
