Frequently I copy company/government agencies, contacts, etc from seek/trademe/agency sites into Word for part time job applications/information. I was shown this a few years back at work, but I have forgotten. I know you go tools - customize, but get stranded... Word offers not much apparent help, and can't find much in Google yet...	kahawai chaser (3545)

653225	2008-03-27 10:01:00	Hmm, Word 2000 I don't know. In Word 2007, whenever you have some formatted text, there is an option on the Home Page under Paste for Paste Special --> Unformatted Text I know in Word 2003 you could do this as well, maybe in Insert?	beeswax34 (63)

653227	2008-03-27 10:08:00	I recorded a macro to do this and assigned it to a key combination... works well...	zcc (50)
653228	2008-03-27 20:33:00	Well thanks for the ideas (The insert idea adds a bit of a clue). Come to think of it, I'm sure a article from a NZ PC World editor wrote how to add menu/file short cuts to mouse right clicks a while back. Maybe they store these articles on their servers for retrieval?	kahawai chaser (3545)
653229	2008-03-27 22:20:00	Have a look at this tutorial at Word MVP (www.word.mvps.org) site. The trick is you need to customise the "Short-Cut Menu" as it controls the right click menu. HTH Dave	odyssey (4613)

HTH Dave Thanks heaps Dave for the link- That's the command I remember for the right click short cut menu. I will implement it...	kahawai chaser (3545)
