You can use this macro:

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

I would like to create a shortcut button on the toolbar for 'Paste special,
unformatted text'. This is a task I do a lot and a shortcut would save a
lot
of time. I'm not sure how to create this, I suspect it needs VBA which I'm
not very good at !
Any suggestions would be welcome.

thanks
