You could create a macro that, when you run it, would paste clipboard
contents in "Unformatted Text" format. Try the following:
Sub PasteUnformatted()
On Error Resume Next
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub
Attach the macro to a toolbar button and/or assign a key combination to it;

I have WindowsXP SP3 Word2003
Often I have to copy HTML text from a web page and then insert it into a
letter.
This means I have to go through the step of the "paste special" as
"unformatted text" step.
Is there any way to *copy* anything as "unformatted text" in the first
place and so avoid the 'paste special' rigmarole?
Please help, Frank
