Paste without Formatting, Default?
I want to paste text into Word without having Word apply the source
formatting to the pasted text. I currently do this using the Paste Options button below the pasted text, but this gets tedious after a few pastes. How can I set the defaults to never paste the formatting? |

You can intercept the EditPaste command with the following macro (in
normal.dot or in an add-in): Sub EditPaste() On Error Resume Next Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you need detailed instructions. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kwgmatthies" wrote in message ...

Thanks Stefan,
Never in a million microseconds would I have thought to change this with a macro! You've opened up a whole new world for me as far as configuring the Office apps to my particular needs and preferences. I'd think a single "Paste with Format" checkbox somewhere in Options would be more appropriately user friendly, but I can imagine the marketing folks complaints about mucking with the 'discoverability' of such a great feature as Paste with Format--after all, who would ever want to turn it off? Thanks very much for your help. --kwgm "Stefan Blom" wrote: You can intercept the EditPaste command with the following macro (in normal.dot or in an add-in): Sub EditPaste() On Error Resume Next Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you need detailed instructions. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kwgmatthies" wrote in message ...

You are welcome.
Note, however, that if you want to paste formatted data, such as a table, you will have to use the Paste Special command. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kwgmatthies" wrote in message ...
