Paste with default style

[dw]

Hello, all. I'm using Word 2003 on WinXP Pro SP2. How do I paste text from
Document 2 into Document 1 and have it automatically take the style of
Document 1 where the insertion point is? I've searched Options but don't
know which one applies to this situation. Thanks

When selecting text in Document 2, do not include any paragraph marks in
the selection. When pasting selected text into Document 1, click on
Edit | Paste Special | Paste: As: Unformatted text | OK.

Thanks. Any way to change the Paste functionality to always paste
Unformatted text? Thanks

Not in the way you're thinking, but I'm sure a macro could be written or
recorded to paste the clipboard contents as unformatted text, and a
keyboard shortcut or toolbar button could be assigned to such a macro.

Try this one

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