Hi,
Do you mean "Ctrl + Shift + V" was used to Paste Text Only, but now it converts back to be Paste Format Painter?
Have you changed your Office version?
Can you find "PasteTextOnly“ command in Customize Keyboard interface?
According to Paste Text Only shortcut in Word, the "Paste Text Only (Ctrl + Shift + V)" is available for Microsoft 365 subscribers.
Any misunderstanding, you may let us know.

Hi @Allen Roy
I am checking this thread, is there any update?
I reproduced your issue on my test environment, and I found that there is "Paste Text Only" in Word for Office Professional Plus 2021, so I can re-assign the shortcut to this command.

I don't know why mine is different but my c-s-C and c-s-V (copy-paste format shortcuts) stopped working the way htey have for years - they swapped over to plain copy and paste.
But Allen Roy's post gave me enough info to fix mine -
The commands for me that I found were CopyFormat and PasteFormat - so my process was Open Word / file / options / customise ribbon (L menu) / customise (keyboard shortcuts) - bottom L side / set categories to All Commands / in Commands find CopyFormat (for c-s-V) & select-highlight / select new key box enter shortcut keys (c-s-C) / Assign - and may want to remove "current key"
And similar for c-s-V with PasteFormat
