deformatting frames/tables
I frquently copy stuff from internet into Word - usually no problems except
when i try to deformat frames/tables. I cannot deformat the content so that it becomes just text - i go to "just show text" and although this usually works with any text it doesn't seem to work if content is in frames (tables?) - thanks. |

Instead of a paste operation, do the following: On the Edit menu,
click Paste Special. Choose "Unformatted text" and click OK. This pastes only the copied text, which assumes the format at the insertion point. If you frequently need to paste as unformatted text, you can create a macro for that purpose: Sub PasteAsUnformatted() On Error Resume Next Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText End Sub If you need assistance, see http://gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "waldorfedu" wrote in message ...

I can't thank you enough Stefan for this introduction to macros. I often
find I need to paste as unformatted text, so I continued through your instructions, followed the link you provided, and created my first macro!! I love it! Thank you so much for your help. -- Sheila M Lake Mary, FL "Stefan Blom" wrote: Instead of a paste operation, do the following: On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
