Remarks

By default, text copied from a RichEditBox is copied as both plain text and rich text. When the text is pasted into another app, the receiving app determines whether the plain text or rich text is used. To ensure that only plain text is pasted into a receiving app, set this property to PlainText to copy only plain text from the RichEditBox.
