Hi,
If someone could just point me in the right direction, i'd be thankful...

I wrote a simple macro for Word 2000 that used the F12 button to "paste
unformatted text" into my documents. Unfortunately, this macro refuses to
work now that i've upgraded to 2003 (even though the documentation says that
macros transfer without problem). Any suggestions?

further explaination may be needed......

The macro i created in Word 2000 was created by clicking "create new macro"
naming it, assigning it to "f12" (obviously overwriting 'save as') then as
the macro was recording, I used the keyboard key series as follows: "alt E, S
(for paste special), then u, u (to get to paste unformatted text), enter"
then stop the macro recorder.

Now in 2003, this macro will PASTE but not in the formatting i'm currently
using.
