I'm not certian that I know what the problem is but it sounds like a problem
I had a day ago. In the tool bar there is an option that says, "Clear all
the formatting from the selection using only the plain text". It worked
fine for me after spending a lot of time trying to figure out what was going
on.

The OP asked for a keyboard shortcut.

If the Style Pane is opened, the top of the style list is Clear All
(unless you deliberately toggle it off in Style Options).

Ctrl+Q removes direct paragraph formatting (but not the style).
Ctrl+Shift+N applies Normal style. There is no built-in shortcut for
Clear Formatting, but you could assign one: Office Button | Word Options
| Customize: Keyboard shortcuts: Customize: All Commands:
ClearAllFormatting.

I recall the with an entire document selected, Ctrl+Space will remove
all
direct formatting (bold, underline, etc).
I cant find the keyboard shortcut to remove all formats, including all
the
styles.

Thanks for any help
