How to change cut and paste preferences to text only?
I do a lot of cut and pasting from different sources. I typically have to
always select paste unformatted text only. Is there a way to make this the default and then I can change later if I do something else? |

The first four dropdowns in that group allow you to set the defaults for various situations. Probably only the "Pasting from other programs" dropdown needs to be set to Keep Text Only. You may or may not want to check the option for Show Paste Options Buttons, which lets you change the selection after each paste. Earlier versions of Word don't have the default options, but the Paste Options buttons are available (at least in 2003, I'm not sure how far back they go). -- 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. |
