I frequently paste information from a web site into a word document. I
always have to select edit, paste special and no formatting. I would like to
make this the default paste setting. The html format with all the tables and
J buttons is not very helpful to me. If I want the html then I view the
source.

Add the following macro to normal dot and attach it to a toolbar button

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub
