Paste unformatted text
Using Word 2000. I want to change CTRL-V to default to unformatted
text. Tried the macro posted at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...429611033.aspx Customized the keyboard, but it does not appear to work - still getting formatted text with CTRL-V. Any ideas? Thanks! ....Steve -- A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to. ....Granville Hicks |

Paste unformatted text
You can create a macro that pastes as unformatted text:
Sub PasteUnfText() On Error GoTo oops Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText End oops: Beep End Sub and then assign the macro to a toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut to make it easy to run. See: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oToToolbar.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...roToHotkey.htm . Steve wrote: Using Word 2000.

Hi Steve,
And since the macro from the Office website should have worked as well, maybe check if you assigned the keyboard shortcut correctly: Type Ctrl + Alt + Num+ (where Num+ is the "+" key on the numeric keypad at the right side of your keyboard). Your cursor should turn into a cloverleaf ("control symbol"). Now use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V. The dialog (ToolsCustomizeKeyboardShortcut) that appears should show the macro you assigned to Ctrl+V ("PasteUnformattedText" if you used the Office website macro, "PasteUnfText" if you used Garfield-n-Odie's macro). If the dialog shows "EditPaste", look again at the steps to assign keyboard shortcuts on the Office side or the links Garfield-n-Odie gave. Regards, Klaus "Steve" wrote: Using Word 2000.

Steve, I use a little program called PureText. It has an icon on the
Notification Area, that when clicked removes all formatting from the clipboard. You can also set up a hot key using PureText for pasting unformatted text. http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/ "Steve" wrote in message news "Klaus Linke" wrote: And since the macro from the Office website should have worked as well, maybe check if you assigned the keyboard shortcut correctly: Type Ctrl + Alt + Num+ (where Num+ is the "+" key on the numeric keypad at the right side of your keyboard).

What are the results, when you test the Ctrl+V shortcut in the Customize
Keyboard dialog box then? Place the insertion point in the "Press new shortcut key" box and type Ctrl V. What command is listed at "Currently assigned to"? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Steve" wrote: "Klaus Linke" wrote: And since the macro from the Office website should have worked as well, maybe check if you assigned the keyboard shortcut correctly: Type Ctrl + Alt + Num+ (where Num+ is the "+" key on the numeric keypad at the right side of your keyboard).
