Hi Paul,

If you have a need to paste plain text outside of Word as well, consider downloading a free utility for Windows called PureText 2.0. http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/.

I use it often and find that it comes in very handy.

Regards,
Frank.

I recorded the following macro cuz I was trying to save a keystroke or two.
I very frequently copy text from somewhere and need to paste it into a
document as plain text. Generally I use Alt-E-S to bring up the paste
special dialog, but then I have to select plain text to get it to insert
without any formatting.

So I recorded myself doing that, but that last step didn't seem to record.
When I execute the macro, the text comes in with it's native formatting.

Any suggestions?
