Sorry for being ignorant, but I'd really like to create a way to have a
keyboard shortcut for paste-special past unformated text. How do I use what
you've typed below to do that? I'm not very familiar with macros, so some
basic instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Who knows what Microsoft is thinking, but it is fairly simple to create a
macro to do this - and apply a shortcut to it (as you found eventually).

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo Oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
Oops:
Beep
End Sub

will do the trick.

created a Macro to do it and use "Ctrl+Alt+V" as the shortcut; this
works really well but it took me awhile to figure out how to do it.
