How to default to "Unformatted Text" in "Paste Special" in Word 20
I like the fact that Word 2007 includes €śPaste Special€ť in the Ribbon.
However, this only solves half of the old problem with Paste Special. The other half of the problem is that Paste Special does not default to pasting unformatted text, the primary reason why one generally uses Paste Special in the first place. Is there any way to a) make the selection of Unformatted Text €śsticky€ť so it does not have to be selected on each paste? And b) is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut to Paste Special - Unformatted Text. Lastly, c) is there a way to assign the Paste Special - Unformatted Text combination to the Quick Access Toolbar? Thanks, --Lucky |

Copy some text into the clipboard, then record this series of mouse clicks
into a macro: Edit, Paste Special, Unformatted Text, OK Give the macro a name. Assign this macro to a keyboard shortcut - I use Ctl-Shift-V See Word help for information on now to create shortcuts -- Ted |

How to default to "Unformatted Text" in "Paste Special" in Wor
TedMi,
Unfortunately, recording a marcro for Paste Special - Unformatted Text does not work in Word 2007 as described. Recording the macro creates the following VB code: SelectionPasteAndFormat (wdPasteText) However, executing the macro via CTL-SHIFT-V simply pastes formatted text. I also tried using SelectionPasteAndFormat DataType:=wdPasteText, which Word 2007 rejected outright. Suggestions are appreciated, --Lucky |

How to default to "Unformatted Text" in "Paste Special" in Wor
In Word 2003 and earlier, it's a known issue that the macro
recorder yields incorrect results when recording the paste special as unformatted text command. Instead, try using: Sub PasteUnfText() On Error GoTo oops Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText End oops: Beep End Sub and then assign the macro to a toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut to make it easy to run. See: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oToToolbar.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...roToHotkey.htm . These instructions were written for Word 2003 and earlier, and I don't have Word 2007, so you'll have to experiment a bit to see how much of this you can use in Word 2007.
