paste unformatted macro not working

[Guest]

I'm new to this macro thing, so I thought creating a macro to paste text as
unformatted would be an easy thing to start with.

I recorded my macro and it only contains one statement -- and it is not
pasting my text as unformatted (it's pastes it as formatted):
In VB:
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)

I noticed a post back on 8/10/04 where someone had said the same thing. I
am going to use the code that Graham Mayor responded with -- but I was just
wondering what I'm doing wrong. I followed the directions (I thought) posted
on the MVP website, but I'm obviously leaving out a very important step!

Help....

Thanks,
Rita

Try this line instead:

Selection.Range.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText

The macro recorder does not always do what you might expect. Sometimes you
have to get your sleeves rolled up and dig into the code

Graham and Bill --

Thanks for the info.

Plus it's a relief to know that I wasn't missing something in recording the
macro. I guess macros are going to open up a whole new world for me!
