Word - Paste - Match destination formatting - Need a keyboard shor
Word frequently frustrates me when I try to paste text into a document from
another source (especially in emails as I'm using word as an editor in outlook) - and it helpfully includes whatever ridiculous formatting the original came along with - but I usually just want the text to include in what I'm writing. I usually don't want all the formatting. The addition in Word 2003 which pops up a little 'paste options' button - where you can select 'keep source formatting' or 'match destination formatting' or 'keep text only' - is great as I can now select to paste just the text. However - as I more often than not just want the text and not the formatting, I have to click the button every time. It would save me a lot of time if either: a) there was a keyboard shortcut (eg. control + Shift + V) which just pasted the text without any formatting b) or I could set the default paste type in the options somewhere - to eg. just keep the text - but still have the popup thing so I could select to keep the formatting on the few occaisions I wanted to do that. Either of those would be great - as having to click the popup every time is really winding me up as I have to do it so often! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

You can assign this macro to any keyboard shortcut you want to use:
