There is a command in the "All" list called "EditPasteSpecial." That will get you close.




There's another command called "PasteTextOnly" but I was unable to get it to work.

You might want to check whether another hotkey is assigned that pastes special or pastes as text. Here's how:

1. Press Alt + F8 to open the "Macros" dialog.
2. Type "ListCommands" and press Enter.
3. You'll be prompted to what kind of list you want. Choose "All Word commands"

A list of commands will be generated. If hotkeys assigned to a command, the hotkeys appear next to the command names.

The list is very long, so rather than read it line by line, you'll probably want to search for terms like "paste" or "special".

Alan, "Edit paste special" requires 4 clicks. I sometimes do a couple hundred pastes per day in my work, so that's 800 clicks instead of 200. It really slows my work down. This is why I'm not interested in anything other than a one-click solution, which I had before the Windows update.

.

As I said earlier, PasteUnformatted is not on the all commands list.
