Hi Dotan,
Do other people paste from outside OOo to within OOo on a regular
basis? Do you have problems with text formatting (specifically, the
fact that formatting is preseved)? I filed an issue for a feature
request to let the user select Format Unformatted Text be the default
paste option, however, it does not seem to be progressing:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=103327
Based on the use cases that I've seen, I expected this to be a popular
feature. Is no one else interested in it? I am only asking to gauge
other user's opinions of the need for such a feature.
It is in fact possible to add your own item for "Paste Unformatted Text"
onto a toolbar. I'm doing this in Windows, OOo 3.2, Writer. Edit: see
final paragraph.
Tools|Customise|Toolbars (the tab) and select, say, "Standard" toolbar.
You'll see below that a list of icons that are currently displayed on
the toolbar (those with ticks). But there is not one there for "Paste
Unformatted".
So click "Add..." button, select Category "Edit" from left column, then
select "Paste Unformatted Text" from right column|Add|Close. It will add
it to the list of Toolbar commands. You can move it to the position you
want with the up/down arrows there. By default, it does not have an icon
associated with it, but you can change that by selecting the command and
using "Modify"|"Change Icon...".
Hmmm... I just read the bug report after writing the above and there it
mentions you are interested in Calc, not Writer. The same customise
process does not work... the closest I could get was to adding a "Paste
Special" icon, which then brings up an option of "Unformatted text",
requiring some more mouse clicks.
I have an icon for Paste Unformatted (similar to the Paste) at the end
of the Formatting toolbar in the Writer. I also have a button in the
Calc at the same place, but somehow it does not want to show the icon
assigned to it, it only shows the title. I would prefer it too if the
default Paste was unformatted, or if the default could be changed.
