Setting default Paste mode for Text

[Steven O.]

In Word 2000 and Word XP, is there anyway to set things so that the
default mode for pasting text is "Paste as Unformatted Text"?
Otherwise, I constantly have to go to the Paste Special... option,
which gets to be very tedious.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

This seems to be a question of some interest but the best approach that I
have found is to record a macro to "Paste Special" in "Unformatted text
mode" and place a button for it on the tool bar.

As you can tell, the actual macro is pretty simple:-

Sub unformatted_paste()
'
' unformatted_paste Macro
' Macro recorded 7/23/2003 by James V. Silverton
'
Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatPlainText

End Sub
