Paste without formatting automatically

Hello,

To complement Raymond's answer, since it's a Mac, it's Command instead of Ctrl.

Here’s a good read:

and here for creating your own keyboard shortcuts:

Because writing a VB program for that... is a bit much, isn't it? :D))))

How it works is a public forum. I do not respond to questions asked via PM.

Hello,

No, no, m@rina, it is not "excessive" to want to automate pasting without formatting when you have to do it several dozen times a day sometimes.

"youki youkaida", I completely understand your problem as I experienced it daily until I decided to create a small macro, including on PowerPoint, about fifteen years ago, before the arrival of Word 2010 (I am on PC), which allows adding the "Paste and keep only text" tool but also to set the default paste format between documents and within the same document.

If Word 2011 does not have this option or does not offer this tool in the ribbon customization, then check the following pages for Word 2008, which should be adaptable to 2011.

or here

You will find a very small macro (actually very similar to the one I used on PC) to which you can assign a keyboard shortcut.

Hello,

Try by pressing Ctrl + Shift + V and click on "unformatted test"
