In Word 2000 you could at least create a keyboard short cut or a macro (and
assign a keyboard shortcut to it) to use to Paste Special/Unformatted text.

In Word 2003, not only can you not create a shortcut, but the same macro
won't work. And putting it on a menu bar doesn't work consistently either.

From the Visual Basic Help File

This example inserts the Clipboard contents at the insertion point as
unformatted text.

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
Selection.Range.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText

Signature

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my

That's truly wonderful Doug. Thank you!

Is there another line to automatically select Unformatted Text, or do I
always have to click on it in the list/box?
