Paste Special Unformatted Text in PPT 2003

[Guest]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the vba code for Paste Special > Unformatted Text
is? I'm using PPT 2003 and can get PPT to Paste Special using vba recorded
code but not as UNFORMATTED TEXT. The best result I get is for PPT to paste
to the default setting of an autoshape. I use unformatted text option to
paste to different font size auto shapes all the time so changing the
autoshape defaults constantly is not viable.

Any help appreciated!

Does something along the lines of:

ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.PasteSpecial ppPasteText

work for you?

You are a LEGEND. Thanks so much. Do you know a way to link this to a
shortcut?

I'm glad I could help. I think that in order to make something into a
shortcut, you need to create an add-in, but I'm not the one to ask about
that. This FAQ entry might help:
