Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Keyboard Shortcut for Paste Special?
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Power PC I am always using "Paste Special" - "Unformatted Text" to paste text into Word so that it retains the font that I am using. I can't find a way to create a keyboard shortcut for this. Any clues?? Options for an applescript you can assign to a keyboard shortcut: http://word.mvps.org/mac/scripts/PasteTextAS.html http://db.tidbits.com/article/9503 > Version: 2008 > Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) > Processor: Power PC > > I am always using "Paste Special" - "Unformatted Text" to paste text into Word so that it retains the font that I am using.

Well, this works and I can assign a keyboard shortcut to it. tell application "Microsoft Word" tell selection try set theClip to Unicode text of (the clipboard as record) type text text theClip end try end tell end tell Yes, that looks the same as the script at the second link I posted. > Well, this works and I can assign a keyboard shortcut to it. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > end tell > end tell > Options for an applescript you can assign to a keyboard shortcut: > <http://word.mvps.org/mac/scripts/PasteTextAS.html> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > > > I am always using "Paste Special" - "Unformatted Text" to paste text into Word so that it retains the font that I am using. I can't find a way to create a keyboard shortcut for this. Any clues?? I followed your first link, and it was easy enough to do, but now, when I try to paste with my specially designated new shortcut (which was option command V), word says "The specified text is not a valid autotext name." I don't understand. http://word.mvps.org/mac/scripts/PasteTextAS.html > I followed your first link, and it was easy enough to do, but now, when I try to paste with my specially designated new shortcut (which was option command V), word says "The specified text is not a valid autotext name."

When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a script, I guess it doesn't override existing shortcuts, as it uses a different mechanism than Word's internal shortcuts. Two options: 1) go into Tools | Customize Keyboard--in the left column, select All Commands, tab to right column and type I-N-S quickly, then select InsertAutoText, select the assigned keyboard shortcut, and Remove it. 2) use something other than option-cmd-v For future reference, it is better to start a new thread than to re-activate an old thread. |
