Stripping all formatting and codes when copying/pasting
I am copying and pasting documents from Word 2003 to Word 2007 and want them
to paste into Word completly stripped of all formatting, codes, etc., including headers, footers, tab settings, fonts, etc. What is the best way to do this? Should I paste from Word 2003 into Notepad and then from Notepad into Word 2007? It is essential that nothing come into Word 2007 other than keystrokes in the body. Thanks in advance. Arlene |

Stripping all formatting and codes when copying/pasting
Copy the text. In Word 2007, click the Home tab of the ribbon. Click Paste,
and then click Paste Special. Choose "Unformatted Text" and then click OK. The pasted text will assume the formatting at the insertion point. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Arlene" wrote in message news I am copying and pasting documents from Word 2003 to Word 2007 and want them to paste into Word completly stripped of all formatting, codes, etc., including headers, footers, tab settings, fonts, etc. What is the best way to do this?

Paste special unformatted text (or use the following macro)

Stripping all formatting and codes when copying/pasting
Is there a reason I would use a macro over paste special?

Would this strip out any header and footer codes that might have been present
in the original document as well? What is the difference between Unformatted Text and Unformatted Unicode Text? "Stefan Blom" wrote: Copy the text. In Word 2007, click the Home tab of the ribbon.

Attached to a QAT button or keyboard shortcut it simply uses fewer
keystrokes to attain the same result. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Arlene wrote: Is there a reason I would use a macro over paste special?

Thank you. I went to your link and created the macro but the link doesn't
tell me how to run the macro or assign it to a keyboard shortcut. Do you have another link for that?

I feel sure Graham's article includes a link to his article at

For the rest, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oToToolbar.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...roToHotkey.htm (both written for versions before Word 2007, but the principle is the same). -- Suzanne S.

I'm not sure. I guess pasting as Unicode preserves any Unicode text (which includes "special" characters not supported by ASCII or ANSI) that might be included in the copied data? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote: Copy the text.
