Match destination formatting

[Guest]

I use MS Office XP. It has a useful feature, which is that when one pastes an
object there is a smart tag that offers the option to "match destination
formatting." This is useful if say you are pasting between two documents that
use different font sizes, but you want to retain formatting features like
bold and italics. I'd like to create a macro that would allow me to press a
shortcut key and it would automatically adopt the destination formatting. Is
that possible? If so, how?
