The default in Word is to paste with the format of the copied
text,
rather than the format of where the text is being inserted. I
hate
that, especially when pasting into corporate templates where the
layout has to be just so. I either have to use:
Edit - paste special - unformatted text
or paste the text, then apply the right formatting. But this is
painful as Word starts to add its own ideas on styles to my styles
menu
based on the pasted text. To ease my pain, I have created a small
macro that uses pasteUnformatted. However, now I get the "your
document contains macros..." warning whenever I open Word
documents.
But what I would *really* like to do is turn off the "feature" in
Word
that makes pasteFormatted the default. Is this possible?
As a related question, I use Powerpoint to create drawings, then
past
them into Word. By default, Word makes them an object, which I
hate -
I just want a picture. So I tell it to paste as picture.
But now Word ignores my default for pasting pictures, which is
"inline
with paragraph".
How can I tell Word not to paste objects, just pictures, *and* use
my
default for pasting - i.e. inline?
