I often use the paste special function, and specifically the 'unformatted
text' command within it to remove formatting and associated complications in
texts. For repeated functions it is somewhat laborious to always do this
through the 'Paste Special' button - it would be good if there were a
separate button for directly pasting unformatted text into documents

It is a simple matter to create one. Attach the following macro to a toolbar
button http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub
