John, what OS are you using? For me, Ctrl+V is "Paste" only, and does not bring up any list and pastes everything. In Windows, no "list" is brought up where you can delete any ticks and just leave what you want. By using Ctrl+SHIFT+V I get Paste Special, and that brings up a WINDOW where you HAVE TO highlight what you want to paste. You cannot delete any of the items in the window!!! In Windows, you would have to use the Macro, just previously mentioned to accomplish what Lee wants to do. Roxy
Dear Lee I thought I would give this a go. I seems that "Paste" pastes everything and "Past Special" just what's on the tick list so ctrl +v (up comes the list - delete all the ticks but leave text and numbers) Now from copy ctrl + V gives formatted ctrl + v +ok gives unformatted regards John B LO 3.3.3 -------------------------------------------------------------------- On 20/06/2011 01:06, lee wrote: > Hi, > > how do I set a default pasting type so that when pasting, only the text > itself is pasted and not the formatting with it? > > How do I make it so that text, when pasted with the mouse, is inserted > at the position of the text cursor where it´s supposed to be inserted, > rather than where the mouse pointer happens to be? > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 9.0.901 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/3702 - Release Date: 06/13/11 > 19:34:00 > -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
