As Jezebel indicates the macro recorder is no less efficient than it was in
earlier versions. In this instance, change your code to

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub

It was a piece of cake to create a macro in the previous versions of
Word. I think it's an embarassment to make it so buggy in the MS Word
2003.

I've created a macro "PasteSpecial" which is recorded as Edit/Paste
Special.../Unformatted Text. However it's almost never works as a set
of recorded manual steps, i.e. when I do it manually it copies the
text formatted as destination paragraph, when I do the macro it actes
as I paste the formatted text. Any ideas how to fix it, or at least
hwo to report this problem to Microsoft?

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply.
