I have recorded a macro and assigned it to a button. The macro was recorded
by selecting Edit\Paste Special then select un-formatted text and then OK.
This is the result when you go to edit macro;
Sub PasteSpecial()
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
End Sub
The problem is it pastes all, not just the text.

Can anyone tell me how to set up this macro?

The macro recorder does not always do the trick. In this case you need

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

The error trapping if to prevent the crash that occurs if you have nothing
selected when you run the macro.
