Pasting Unformatted Text in MSWord
If you've ever tried to copy something from a web page and then paste it into MSWord, you may be been disappointed by all of the gobledegook special formatting around the text. The solution to this is to select "Edit - Paste Special - Unformatted text". This function allows you to copy and paste text without all that annoying special formatting around the text. But, the geniuses at Microsoft didn't assign this command a shortcut. Or allow you to assing one to it. Worse, when you choose Edit - Past Special", "Unformatted text" isn't the default. Like...why do they think we're doing a "special" paste anyway? Clearly, it's to get rid of the formatting 99% of the time. But, they're not that bright up in Redmond. It bothered me enough that I finally searched out a solution to this fiasco. (Local copy of link provided here.)
