Hi Roxy and John, I believe you two are using different parts of LibO. It sounds like John is using Calc, while Roxy is using Writer. The paste special options in these two modules are different.
Roxy, your "drop-down arrow paste special" method works well. But it does not work well in all cases. For instance, go to a blog or website with a lot of text. Now, to paste a paragraph into Writer you would normally select the paragraph, copy (Ctrl+C), select the point in Writer where you want to paste it, click the "paste special" drop-down arrow, select "unformatted text" and it's done. In this case it works well. But now, copy and paste every second or third word from 3 or 4 paragraphs. Now you need to do 100 or so paste specials, then 1 or 2 extra mouse clicks make it fairly tedious. From what I read, it seems that lee is copying and pasting a few words at a time, but it is done quite frequently. So in lee's case, he would probably prefer something else. And it looks like he found a solution that works for him. lee, I think it should be possible to assign a short-cut key to the icon you created. As you probably don't want a keyboard button, maybe you can try to assign it to the middle mouse button? Just a thought, I could be wrong.
