Looking for a shortcut for Paste Special Unformatted Text

[Guest]

I find that about 50% of the time when I am pasting copied text I have to use
"Paste Special -> Unformatted Text" because the source text does not match
the font or color of the target document. I'm guessing that this is a
common problem.

Is there a way to assign a shortcut to "Paste Special Unformatted Text"
similar to how a straight "Paste" can be done with a Ctrl V?

Thanks!

Lapine49,
There is none I think. You can off course make a macro and assign a keyboard
shortcut to it.
Here is the macro, curtesy of Graham Mayor.

Sub PasteUnfText()
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End Sub

You missed out the error trapping?

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