Paste Options not working (Stuck in Off position)

[X_HOBBES]

A while back in OneNote 2003, I turned off the Paste Options Button (Tools >
Options > Editing > Show Paste Options Button). Ever since I turned it off,
I have not been able to turn it on again. I've tried modifying the setting
in the registry and all, but nothing seems to work.

I've recently upgraded to OneNote 2007 trial version. Unfortunately, I am
still having the problem.

Does anybody know how I can get the Paste Options button to appear again?

Thanks,

Can anyone help me get past this crazy issue?

Thanks,

I *FINALLY* resolved my own problem and thought I would share the
resolution here...

OneNote has a registry key to control the whether or not Paste Options
appears when pasting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\OneNote\Options
\Other\PasteOoui = 1 for ON or 0 for OFF

However, this value is overridden by the Office Common settings!
(Stupid, right? Specific settings should override Common settings,
not the other way around) Here's how to turn Paste Options on (for
all Office products, unfortunately):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General
\PasteOptions = 1 for ON or 0 for OFF

I agree with a few other posts requesting that Microsoft should just
have a Paste Options feature like all other standard Office products
-- MICROSOFT, ARE YOU LISTENING??? FIX THIS!!!... please. =-)

THANK YOU!!!!!!! This has been bugging me for a long time!

I'm on OneNote 2007, and there is still (inexplicably) no "paste special" option. Grrrrr.....

...... and it's even STUPIDER of Microsoft to have ONE setting for ALL Office apps! That is, if I enable Paste Options button in Word, that also applies to Excel and OneNote; if I disable Paste Options button in any of those apps, it applies to all the others.

But the only place I NEED that option is in OneNote, since MS doesn't give me a "paste special" option in OneNote!

Ugh. Still stupid, frustrating, counter-intuitive, and time-wasting.
