I've found Alt-Shift-V (Option-Shift-V on the Mac) works great -- similar to the traditional paste keys I'm used to.

Mine is quite similar:

Sub Paster()

' Pastes unformatted text
' Macro recorded 07/03/04 by Jim Pinkham
'
Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText,
Placement:= _
wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
End Sub

I have this tied to the ALT+P keystroke, and it's fast and tidy.

This is how it is in my special barsandmacros.dot template.

Sub PasteUnformated()
'
' PasteUnformated Macro
' Pastes the clipboard text as plaintext (unformatted)
Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatPlainText End Sub

Works perfectly.

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?

Sub PastePlain()
'
' PastePlain Macro
' Macro recorded 2/16/2007 by Paul Kent '
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault) End Sub

Thanks in advance,
