New macro in Word

[Ab]

It was a piece of cake to create a macro in the previous versions of Word. I
think it's an embarassment to make it so buggy in the MS Word 2003.

I've created a macro "PasteSpecial" which is recorded as Edit/Paste
Special.../Unformatted Text. However it's almost never works as a set of
recorded manual steps, i.e. when I do it manually it copies the text
formatted as destination paragraph, when I do the macro it actes as I paste
the formatted text. Any ideas how to fix it, or at least hwo to report this
problem to Microsoft?

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply.

As Jezebel indicates the macro recorder is no less efficient than it was in
earlier versions. In this instance, change your code to

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