Assinging a hotkey to paste Unformatted Text.
In Word 2003, Can anyone tell me how to assign a set of key strokes to
implement the following menu command: Edit Paste SpecialUnformatted Text So far, using the Customize Toolbar feature, I have assigned Key strokes to the "Paste Special" commend, but it won't let me go one step further and bring up "Unformatted Text" with a single set of key strokes. Instead, I get to "Paste Special", and it shows the menu list with all the choices (of which Unformatted Text is one --I never have any use for the other choices). Then I have to take my fingers off the keyboard, go to the mouse, and click on my choice. This slows me down tremendously in my typing. Is there anyway to get into that last level of the menu, so that when I hit some pre-assigned keys, Unformatted Text is pasted into my document without further ado? Hint to Word: having to stop and use the mouse is a major momentum buster for touch typists. The more that is accessible via key combinations, the better. |

Using the steps in http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm, install this macro in the Normal.dot template: Sub PasteSpecialUnformatted() On Error Resume Next Selection.PasteSpecial Datatype:=wdPasteText End Sub Then use the steps at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...roToHotkey.htm to assign a shortcut key combination to the macro. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
