Shortcut to paste unformatted text? Thread poster: Lori Cirefice
|
In Word 2007, I need to create a shortcut so I can save time pasting bits of text from a website. I need to paste unformatted text, and the current way I do it is a waste of time (multiple menu clicks). Can anyone help? | | | Michael Beijer United Kingdom Local time: 01:47 Member (2009) Dutch to English + ... | Ben Senior Germany Local time: 02:47 German to English Copy and paste? | Mar 22, 2016 |
Simply mark the text in the website then press Ctrl+c. Go to Word, place the cursor where you want to insert the text and press Ctrl+v. Alternately in word you can customise the QAT (Quick Access Tool-bar) to add the paste button. It depends which browser you have whether you can customise that too for copying, but the keyboard method is by far the quickest. Ben | | | Try the following macro | Mar 22, 2016 |
Sub PasteRaw() Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatPlainText End Sub Just choose any available shortcut to it. | |

If you just want to paste unformatted in Word, you can record a macro of yourself clicking the necessary menu commands...and then associate that with a shortcut key (I use Ctrl+Shift+V). | | | DZiW (X) Ukraine English to Russian + ...
Something like this?Sub Macro1() Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatPlainText) Beep End Sub Hopefully, you're aware of Alt+F11 and how to assign macros) Cheers. | | | Lori Cirefice France Local time: 02:47 French to English TOPIC STARTER Trans Tools! | Mar 22, 2016 |
Ah ha, I already have Trans Tools, didn't know it had that feature, will try it out asap - thanks! Trans Tools sounds easier than doing a macro, but I'll try to follow macro instructions if needed. Thanks to all! | | | 1-line macro: | Mar 22, 2016 |
Create a new macro and paste this line: Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText Assign CTRL+SHIFT+V

Here are some macros that have saved hours of my life. The last two are useful for Wordfast Classic users (which I believe you are). SETANTS turns on the marching ants for the current selection and CLEARANTS turns them off for the whole document. I have these assigned to custom toolbar buttons but you could also assign them to your preferred hot-key combination. Sub PASTEUNFORMATTED() Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatPlainText) End Sub...

As nobody has suggested it, I feel like I will have to drag my foot out of my mouth after I post this here, but I have always simply used ALT+E+S. All you have to do is place the cursor in a formatting free spot. Now, if you need to insert unformatted text into formatted one, you will have to go with the macros. I have never been able to crack that nut though. But, as I tell my husband when he looks with pity at me as he fixes a chest of draws or changes a fan belt - I can speak three and half l...

I'd indeed suggest using TransTools, or the other little tool I suggested, as then you can paste sans formatting in any program, not just in Word. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Shortcut to paste unformatted text?
