Macro to paste unformatted text

Andacar · #1 01-05-2011, 11:33 AM

Hi folks, nice to be here. I'm new to the forum but I've been using Word for quite a while. This is a stumper though, since it's a scripting issue. I'm trying to make a macro that pastes unformatted text. I often have to paste something into a document from another source that has a lot of formatting I want to get rid of. It’s a bit cumbersome to go to Home > Paste > Paste Special, etc. every time. I’ve tried creating a macro to do this but it always pastes the formatted text instead. Am I missing a step?

Thanks,

Andacar
