Default setting for paste in Word 2003
I need to cut and paste a lot of text from one doc to another. Each
time I do it (Ctrl C + Ctrl V), a popup is displayed asking me whether I want to match the destinatinon format. I consistently want to match the destination format and I wish I didn't keep getting that annoying popup menu each time because it really slows me down. Can anybody please tell me how to set "match destination format" as the global default so I don't have to get those popups anymore? |

That's essentially the same as Paste Unformatted. You could just choose
Edit - Paste Special - Unformatted text. Or, for a very simple macro you can assign to a keystroke (such as Ctrl+V), see: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/p...cle.asp?ID=128 "Paste Special Unformatted Text At Your Fingertips" -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Technically Challenged" wrote in message ups.com...

Thanks a lot, that really works! I also like the way you showed that
if you do everything "right", recording the macro step-by-step, it doesn't work, but that thanks to your "deux ex machina" editing (which I never would have figured out in a million years) it works like a charm. |
