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?

Sub PastePlain()

End Sub

Thanks in advance,
