creating button for "past unformatted text"

[Guest]

I would like to create a button for "paste unformatted text".
I have Word 2002 (Office XP)

I know how to add a new button when I can find it in the list found in
View>Toolbars>Customize>Commands
but there does not appear to be a command "past unformatted text". The
closer I can get is "paste special".

Thanks in advane for any help.

You'll need to write a macro containing the kind of paste special you want
to do --

Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
