Yes, you'll need something like this:
Sub PasteUnformatted()
On Error Resume Next
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub
If you need help installing the macro, see

Now if I want to use a kb shortcut for Paste Special would I have to use a
Macro?
On the Home tab, click Paste, and then click Paste Special; choose to
paste as "Unformatted Text"; this formats the pasted text according to
the formatting at the insertion point. Note, however, that when you are
pasting asunformatted text, you will *only* get the text. No graphics
will be pasted.
