Is there a way to make the default paste to be "Match destination format", as
that's what I always use and I always have to click on the paste icons and
choose this.
thanks,

You can record a macro and assign any keyboard shortcut to it.

See these links for more information:

I don't quite understand this answer. Here's my question in more detail. Is
there a way to change the default behavior of the smart paste feature. When
I paste something from another document, it pastes, retaining the
stye/formatting, and I always have to change it to "Keep text only". Is
there a registry hack or some other permant way to make it so when I paste
something it default pastes it with the "Keep text only" smart paste option?
thanks,

Another alternative is to access Tools, and the Options, within options you
can modify your "user preferences", in the Editing section. It should give
options like: "Allow fast pasting" and a few others. It might not work, but
you can try. If you share what version of Word being used, someone else might
be able to give something more specific.

Hi, I'm using Word XP, thanks for any help, I didn't see any option to paste
"Keep text only".
