Pasting with Macro does not work

[Krohn]

I created a simple macro to paste UNFORMATTED text. But Word actually pastes
the text fully formatted. I can manually paste unformatted text, but Word
will not allow me to perform this function using shortcuts.

Since you haven't posted the code you are using, it's impossible to
tell what is wrong with it. The following should work, though:

Sub PasteAsUnformatted()
On Error Resume Next
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub

This code works nicely in Word 97 to 2003, but breaks in Word 2007.
But if you step through the macro, you'll find it working.
This bug has been noticed already, and you can read about it a

I have emailed (e-mail address removed) in the hope that MS will fix it.

In the mean time, I developed a workaround that works in my particular
situation, but it would be great if it could be fixed.
