But for Word 2004 on a Mac (is there Word 2008?) - record a macro - record the action of "paste as" - edit the macro in the visual basic editor so that it shows: Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatPlainText) - assign a shortcut key to the macro Rob I just solved it with some help from other sites. But for Word 2004 on a Mac (is there Word 2008?)

- record a macro
- record the action of “paste as”
- edit the macro in the visual basic editor so that it shows:
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatPlainText)
- assign a shortcut key to the macro

Alt + Shift + F10 will open the Paste Options (the notepad icon) from the keyboard, then use up and down arrows to highlight, Enter to choose. Esc will cancel. Also, you can open the context menu (right click) with the Windows dialog box key (by the right-hand Windows flag key), or F10. Hope that helps! Hello Bill – Great question.

The setting you mention have been really helpful, but I could speed up my work considerably if I could use keyboard short cuts. Control-C and Control-V are simple. But once I've controlled-V, there's a small icon of a notepad. At the moment I have to reach to my mouse to click this. Once opened there are options which have keyboard short cuts. Is there a shortcut to avoid the mouse action? I do a lot of copying and pasting between my browser (Firefox actually but who’s counting?) and Word 2007.

Control-C and Control-V are simple. But once I’ve controlled-V, there’s a small icon of a notepad. At the moment I have to reach to my mouse to click this. Once opened there are options which have keyboard short cuts. Is there a shortcut to avoid the mouse action?

I don't work on a Mac, but I checked Microsoft's<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx" rel="nofollow"> Mactopia</a> site for an answer for you. Do you have a Word menu in Word? If so, open it, and choose Preferences. I would guess that paste options would then be in Edit preferences. Hope that helps! If you would, post another comment about where you found the answer.

I use a Mac and am working in Word 2008 for Mac. I really need to change the default option to "keep text only" but cannot see how to do it. I do not seem to have an Office button and therefore cannot follow the above path. Thanks Ray Sorry if I am being stupid here … my first ever question on an IT site!
