MS Word: How do I create a shortcut or toolbar button for the “Paste Special..Unformatted Text” option?

Make the button call the macro: public sub PasteSpecialUnformatted() selection. Pastespecial datatype:=wdpastetext end sub.

He's asking for help with MS Word he's not going to go through the effort of writing VB script. – cazlab Sep 16 '08 at 16:30 That's what you think. I have been using the macro since it was posted!

I admit I was hoping for a non-macro solution, but this works just fine. Not sure why you think I wouldn't go through the effort of writing a VB script considering I am a programmer by trade. – JohnFx Sep 18 '08 at 13:59 Programmer by trade here, but not one who's done VB scripting before.

I'd like to use this PasteSpecialUnformatted macro. Where do I enter it? – David Jun 23 '10 at 14:59 You press Alt+F11 in your Office app to open the IDE, then press Ctrl+R to activate the project tree, then right-click it to insert a module, then paste this code into it.

I would suggest using the PureText lightweight utility application by Steve Miller for this. PureText runs in your system tray and listens on a global hotkey (which you can define -- I use Win+V) to perform a "paste text sans formatting" -- essentially the same operation as opening up an instance of notepad. Exe, pasting into that, re-copying the resultant plain text, and then pasting into the actual target application.

The advantage of this approach is that you'll be able to perform a "paste text sans formatting" in any of your applications, not just in Word. I first installed PureText a couple of years ago and have been using it heavily ever since; it has become a "must-have" utility application for me.

I use FingerTips for this. By default it will make CTRL+W -> Paste Special. Furthermore it supports macro text and a lot of useful start-programs-quick things and some Microsoft Outlook tricks to support Getting Things Done.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
