Default Paste without Formatting, Default?

You can intercept the EditPaste command with the following macro (in
normal.dot or in an add-in):

Sub EditPaste()
On Error Resume Next
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you need detailed
instructions.

I want to paste text into Word without having Word apply the source
formatting to the pasted text.

I currently do this using the Paste Options button below the pasted text,
but this gets tedious after a few pastes.

How can I set the defaults to never paste the formatting?
