When I use Ctrl-V to paste text from a PDF or a web page in Word 2007,
a Paste Options box shows up after the pasted text. However, when I
create my own VBA macro named EditPaste and have it paste text with
Selection.Paste, I do not get the Paste Options box at the end of the
pasted text.

One possibility, which would also solve many other problems, seems to
be for my EditPaste to call the original EditPaste. Regrettably, I do
not know how to do that. However, I now know many ways that look
promising but that actually do not call the original EditPaste. Feel
free to email me if you need such a list.

I would be most grateful for guidance on how to get Smart Paste to
work from my own macro in Word 2007.

Very best regards,

Mike

If I have the "Show Smart Paste Options button" option turned on then
when I do a paste (Ctrl-V, menu, or button) Word will paste in the
text and then pop up a small Smart Paste Options button after the
text. When I override EditPaste with a Sub of my own, I can make the
paste work but I cannot get the button to come up.

If someone could help me get the button to come up in the following
Sub then I can make it come up in our version of EditPaste:

Public Sub EditPaste
Selection.Paste
End Sub

Thank you in advance for any help that you can give.

My original post said that I get this effect when I paste in text from
a PDF. That is true, but not as strong a statement as I could have
made. Without our modified EditPaste, the box actually comes up after
every paste.

I'm 99.7% sure that the Past Options box does not display when using Edit ->
Paste by default. I do think, however there is an option for it somewhere.
Sorry I'm not much help.
