Modify default formatting of pasted text
Is there a way that you can make default formatting of pasted text to ALWAYS
match destination formatting, instead of having the little menu come up and having to choose that option each time. Or, maybe change it to "Keep text only?" Basically, I'd like the ability to change the default paste format to and fro. Thanks |

Modify default formatting of pasted text
No. In some templates or even documents, I've written macros that intercept
Ctrl-V and paste the way I want (usually unformatted text). Since that is the way I almost always paste, it works. Otherwise, you can have the macro intercept the actual Word command but it takes more to do that. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Put the following macro in normal.dot in order to intercept the
EditPaste command: Sub EditPaste On Error Resume Next Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText, _ Placement:= wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False End Sub If you are unfamiliar with macros, see the installation instructions at: http://gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Craig Fletcher" wrote in message ...

Modify default formatting of pasted text
You would think this would be something that could be more easily
configured. I wonder if this would be a valid DCR (Design change Request) at Microsoft for Office 12? I have a good relationship with them, perhaps I should submit this request, or have you guys already done that? "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Modify default formatting of pasted text
Would you be willing to share your macro for the INSERT key?

Modify default formatting of pasted text
The top macro simply intercepts the standard "EditPaste" command wherever it
appears. If you name a macro the same as a Word command, it replaces the command. The second macro performs a normal "Let Word figure it out" paste. That's the one I put on the Insert key. Sub EditPaste() On Error GoTo notAvailable Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText End notAvailable: Selection.Paste End Sub Sub NormalPaste() Selection.Paste End Sub On 26/3/06 6:43 AM, in article , "*((({" wrote: Would you be willing to share your macro for the INSERT key? *(((({ In the last exciting episode on Fri, 24 Mar 2006 17:55:42 +1100, "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macintosh]" wrote: Hi Craig: That's only been submitted 9,999 times.
