Pasting unformatted text

[fh]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) I cannot find an 'Edit > Paste Special... > Unformatted Text' command to assign to a keyboard shortcut. Can you help please?

I have no idea how to use AppleScript or Automator.

Nope, not an option. The script you need is freely available though. See
this page for how to take advantage of it, then click the last link on that
page to retrieve the script;

Oh dear! That means I have got to delve into AppleScript or keep mousing around.

Thanks Bob

No, it doesn't. Notice that when you paste there is a clipboard icon called
the Paste Options button that appears following the pasted content. Click it
& choose "Match Destination Formatting" or "Keep Text Only". It's also
possible that the options offered may vary depending on what program you
were using when you copied & what the nature of the content is.

If the Paste Options button isn't appearing after you paste, go to Word>
Preferences> Edit & tick the box to activate the feature.
