MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / November 2007Unformatted Paste
When I used Word 2003, I created a one-line macro for pasting unformatted text: (Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText), ...and I assigned it the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+d". For me, this was truly an indispensible tool. I now use Word 2007, and unfortunately my macro doesn't work. Word 2007 has a new feature that is supposed to make such a macro unnecessary. In the Word 2007 Advanced Options page, there are three options for pasting text. a.. Keep Source Formatting b.. Match Destination Formatting c.. Keep Text Only I've experimented with these settings, but I've found them to be too restrictive. So, I now find myself clicking "Past" on the Clipboard tab on the Home ribbon, and then "Paste Special" and then "Unformatted Text," which is cumbersome. Can someone tell me how I can assign the unformatted paste functionality to keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+d"? Thanks, Chris Boorman. The macro Sub PasteUnfText() On Error GoTo Oops Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _ wdInLine End Oops: Beep End Sub works in both Word 2003 and 2007 and the edit > paste special function is already assigned to ALT+CTRL+V  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> >When I used Word 2003, I created a one-line macro for pasting unformatted >text: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >Thanks, >Chris Boorman. Thanks. I'd like to have this same functionality in Outlook 2007 (i.e., when editing an e-mail message, have the Ctrl+d shortdcut produce an unformatted paste). Can you help me with that too?

It seems like Outlook 2007 is using Word 2007 as its editor (the same features and dialog boxes are there), but I'm blocked from accessing the Word object model. * Is there a way to "unblock" access to the Word object model? * Is there another object model that I can access? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >>>Thanks, >>>Chris Boorman. I'm not quite sure what you mean by blocked, but ,,, Outlook 2007 runs its own instance of an editor using the core of Word. It has some functionality of its own but it is enhanced if you also have Word 2007 on the same machine. The Word Editor in Outlook runs under the Inspector you are using at the time, and you gain access to it through ... Application.ActiveInspector.WordEditor (or something similar depending on exactly what you are doing). This actually gives you a Word Document Object from where all the available parts of the Word OM can be accessed.

Thanks Tony. I can see the ActiveInspector object in the Outlook object model, and I can see that it has a WordEditor property, which is of type "object," but I can't see how to get a handle to the Word Application object? My VBA project doesn't reference the Word library (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSWORD.OLB), and I can't see how to do make it do that. I figure that I've got to include the Word library in my project in order to access its objects, don't I? Chris. ---------------------------------------------------- > I'm not quite sure what you mean by blocked, but ,,, > [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] >>>>>Thanks, >>>>>Chris Boorman. The WordEditor object is a Word Document - and its Parent is the Word Application object. I don't have any problem adding a reference to the Word library. What happens when you try? Or is it not listed? Or what? SignatureEnjoy, Tony > Thanks Tony. > [quoted text clipped - 81 lines] >>>>>>Thanks, >>>>>>Chris Boorman. I'm using Outlook's default IDE - Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5, and I can't find any way of referencing any other library? You say you have no difficulty adding a reference to the Word library.Are you using Visual Studio (and not the default IDE)?

I just figured it out. Here's why I was unable to figure it out earlier: When I sit down and start using my computer each day, for some strange reason, a VB Editor is open on my desktop - and it's not the same one that appears when you click "Visual Basic" from within the Outlook Editor. I had been trying to find "Tools > References" in that version of the editor (I don't know which version it was (it didn't even have a toolbar)). Now that I've got the correct version of the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor (version 6.5) in front of me, I now am able to click "Tools > References," and check-off the Microsoft Word 2007 Object Library. > Pressing F11 in Outlook 2007 just moves the cursor into the "Search > address books" field.

Well, now when I run the Macro from a MS Outlook email composition screen, it pastes unformatted into the Word document I also happen to have open. How do we write the code so that it pastes unformatted into the message instead of finding an open Word document and pasting there? Here's my code: Sub PasteUnformatted() Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText End Sub William > I just figured it out. > Here's why I was unable to figure it out earlier: [quoted text clipped - 135 lines] > >>>>>>>>>> Thanks, > >>>>>>>>>> Chris Boorman. I'm not quite sure what you are doing and you aren't providing much detail, but you need to qualify "Selection". Written as it is, without qualification, it refers to the selection within some default window; if you want it to work on a specific Window you must be more explicit about it.

I am not a VB programmer (or VBA) or a Windows programmer. I'm actually a Java/Actionscript/javascript programmer. I'm not sure how to get a handle on the email that has the focus. I want to paste unformatted in my emails with a macro tied to a keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl + d) because sometimes I *do* want to paste formatted (which means I don't want to make the change to never pasting unformatted). I used that little snippit in a Word macro for several years now to paste unformatted in emails or work. It always pasted in the document that currently has the focus. (Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText) But now that I have started using the "new and improved" office 2007, my little macro doesn't work. Any help on pasting unformatted would be nice. thanks, William Chadwick > I'm not quite sure what you are doing and you aren't providing much detail, > but you need to qualify "Selection".

I'm still not quite sure what you are doing - or where your macro is - so this is guesswork. In office 2007 you do not use Word as the editor in Outlook. There were many problems with it and now Outlook has its own version of the Word Editor so that nothing you do in Word interferes with Outlook and vice-versa. I suspect that this is at the root of your problem. If you want to run a macro in Outlook it must be in Outlook not in Word and you have a separate Normal Template (NormalEmail.dotm) which you may be able to use.

Now I'd like to assign this macro to Ctrl+d in the Outlook Editor. By default, Ctrl+d is assigned to the Font dialog. Can anyone tell me how to override that setting and re-assign Ctrl+d to a macro?

Outlook itself does not support hotkey customization - although there is a trick using toolbars - and the Word editor in Outlook 2007 doesn't seem to support key bindings.
