Word: paste text without format by default

4

Hi everybody,

I'd like to know if there's any way to force Word to paste text without
format by default. I usuallly have to go to "Paste Special" -> no
format, because this is the behaviour I usually need.

Thanks in advance,

S.

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:
