in word how do I set default for pasting unformatted text

I have to use special paste to paste my infomation for another program into
word, if I just use the usual paste I get a box with a x in the corner.

It's probably not a good idea to change the default paste
command, but 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:
