Thank you very much in advance.
The default way to insert unformatted text is: <ctrl> + <shift> + V -> U -> <enter> You may record it as macro ... (Tools -> Macros -> Record Macros) ... and assign a shortcut key (Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard; Functions: OOo Macros ...) My choice was <ctrl> + <shift> + U - but you could take any other shortcut key.
