 Changing <CTRL+V> results to unformatted text For just ONE template in my collection of templates, I'd like to change the "Paste" or <CTRL+V> function so that the "pasted" results are unformatted text. How do I do that?

Changing <CTRL+V> results to unformatted text Hi, Rick, In that one template, insert this macro:
Sub EditPaste()
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatPlainText)
End Sub
That will intercept both the Ctrl+V keystroke and the Edit | Paste menu command.

Changing <CTRL+V> results to unformatted text Jay, Well, I celebrated victory a little too quickly...
When I
a. create a new document based on this template,
b. put some text into the Windows Copy Buffer,
c. move the cursor to the desired destination and
d. press <CTRL+V>,
I get the following error message:
-----------------
Compile error: Method or data member not found.
-----------------
As error messages go, this one is more cryptic than most. It sure doesn't
tell me what to do next.
To create the macro, I've entered the following (exactly as I paste it here)
at the very end of the macro collection already embedded in this template:
--------------
'
' Macro to Paste Unformatted Text
'
Sub EditPaste()
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatPlainText)
End Sub
--------------
In every respect, this LOOKS and is formatted just like all the other macros
in this template. My uneducated eye sees nothing wrong with it.
I'm sure I'm doing something silly/stupid/etc. (like not holding my mouth
just right) -- but could you tell me what it is I should fix to make this
little gem work?

Changing <CTRL+V> results to unformatted text Should I also add that I'm running MSWord2K w/all the updates installed?

Changing <CTRL+V> results to unformatted text Rats, I think .PasteAndFormat is a new method in XP. Unfortunately, I won't have access to a Word2K system until Monday. Try putting some text on the clipboard and then recording Edit | Paste Special |
Unformatted Text.

Changing <CTRL+V> results to unformatted text Try this instead Sub EditPaste()
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub
