Default How do I change the default format of pasted text to match the cu.

When copying from the web and pasting into word, the pasted text
automatically defaults to the formatting from the web page. Easily changed to
the formatting of the destination document by using the Paste Options button,
but it would be even easier if I could change the default paste option to
match the destination document.

I don't believe there is direct kybd access, but you can go to EditPaste
Special & choose Unformatted text. If it's something you do frequently, you
can;

A) Go to ToolOptionsCommands and assign a keystroke to Paste Special, or
B) Add Paste Special as a toolbar button, or
C) Create a macro to do the whole paste special-unformatted text action and
assign a keystroke to it or put a buton on a toolbar to run the macro.

duh - macros! I should've thought of that. I just did it and the result is
sweet. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
