Microswoft word blues

2004-10-13 Thread Michel Treisman
When I copy and paste into a word document I get a 'smart button'  that 
offers me the choice of keeping the source format,
or converting to the destination format.   I always want to convert to 
the destination format.
The button is always set to use the source format, so I always have t o 
fiddle around to get the result I want.

I can find no way to change the default for the button so that it 
automatically selects the destination format.  Is there any way around 
this?

Mike

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.
