how to set up default option for text paste

[Guest]

When I paste text to MS Word from Word or any other application it uses by
defualt style from the source document. I have to use Paste button and select
"Keep Text Only" option to have pasted text formatted as current paragraph.
In most cases I need to have pasted text formatted as current paragraph. Is
there any place where I can speccify default Paste style as "Keep Text Only"?
Thanks a lot!

You could use a macro such as the following:

Sub PasteAsUnformatted()
On Error Resume Next
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub

For instructions, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. (The
article also has information on how to add the macro to a toolbar.)

Thaks a lot for your help!
Could you please tell me - does it mean I have to choose my macro from emnu
to paste text as unformatted or there any way to link this macro to "OnPaste"
event (or something like this)?

If you name the macro EditPaste (instead of PasteAsUnformatted) it
will override the built-in paste command. But note that this means
you'd have to use Paste Special whenever you actually want to preserve
the formatting (such as when you paste text between different parts of
a document).

Great! That is I was looking for. Thanks a lot! You are the one!

One more thing.
This macro DOESN'T work when I paste text using Drag'n'Drop with <Ctrl>
button pressed. Is there any way to make it working in this case too?

Thanks.

Not that I know of. You could try asking in a programming newsgroup
such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general.
