You should be able to create a shortcut for Paste Special in Word

[cary jo]

In Word 2000 you could at least create a keyboard short cut or a macro (and
assign a keyboard shortcut to it) to use to Paste Special/Unformatted text.

In Word 2003, not only can you not create a shortcut, but the same macro
won't work. And putting it on a menu bar doesn't work consistently either.

This example inserts the Clipboard contents at the insertion point as
unformatted text.

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
Selection.Range.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText

That's truly wonderful Doug. Thank you!

Is there another line to automatically select Unformatted Text, or do I
always have to click on it in the list/box?
