Macro for Pasting without Formatting

[Paul]

Having problems getting my macro to paste WITHOUT formatting. I want to
duplicate what normally happens when you go to Edit>Paste Special, then
select Unformatted Text, then hit OK. I have done this before w/o a problem,
but can't seem to figure out why its not working now. I've deleted this
macro but the same problem happens again.

I go to Tools>Macros>Record new macro. I give it a name, hit the keyboard,
give it a combo (Ctrl+Shft+V), and then (after recording starts), I go to
Edit>Paste SPecial, select Unformatted text, click out, then hit stop macro.

But every time I do my combination Ctrl+Shft+V I get FORMATTED text. What am
I doing wrong? Like I said, I've had this macro set up before so I know its
possible!

Recording macros sometimes doesn't work reliably. Use this code to paste as
unformatted text:

Sub PasteAsUnformatted()
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub

If you need help installing the macro and attaching a keyboard shortcut, see
