I'm not sure what version of Word you're using, but in Word v.X, I use the
"Paste Special" command. I did assign the command the keyboard shortcut
'Command + Shift + V'. What it does is present me with a dialog where I can
see which in which format is the text in the clipboard. When I want the
copied text to follow the document attributes, I choose "Unformatted text".
I haven't found a paste command that would paste the text unformatted
directly.
