Default Macro problem

I have tried to follow the directions for using Outlook's (2010) VBA, provided here http://www.slipstick.com/developer/h...ks-vba-editor/, but am running into problems.

This simple macro, the same as Word's, placed in my QAT, is not working.

Code:
Sub PasteUnformatted()
'
' PasteUnformatted Macro
'
'
    Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub
I get a debug pop-up and find the entire macro highlighted.

In Word, I have set [Alt+Ctrl+V] to run the above macro, and I'd like to be able to do that in Outlook messages. I can't find a way to create keyboard shortcuts, except for forum posts on Autohotkey, that appear to involve potential issues and registry editing.

Also, if I can get copy and paste formatting (Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V) onto the QAT, the Alt+number shortcuts would be fine, as a substitute for these Word shortcuts.

Help would be appreciated.
