Subject:Plain Text Paste Macro From:"J. Paul Kent" <jopakent -at- comcast -dot- net> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:21:40 -0800
I recorded the following macro cuz I was trying to save a keystroke or two.
I very frequently copy text from somewhere and need to paste it into a
document as plain text. Generally I use Alt-E-S to bring up the paste
special dialog, but then I have to select plain text to get it to insert
without any formatting.
So I recorded myself doing that, but that last step didn't seem to record.
When I execute the macro, the text comes in with it's native formatting.
Any suggestions?
