One thing I find very annoying in both MS Office/Word and
OpenOffice.org is that paste always keeps formatting when pasting
from another program. Is there a way to reverse the paste setting
so that regular paste removes formatting and only special paste
keeps formatting?
I just played with this for a few minutes. I use NeoOffice (an
OpenOffice branch for Macs) but I feel reasonably sure this would work
the same way in OpenOffice. If it will work for you to simply reassign
the Paste keyboard shortcut (but the Edit/Paste menu choice would not
change its behavior), you can do this:
1. Copy some formatted text in to your clipboard
2. In Writer, choose Tools/Macros/Record.
3. Using the menu (rather than keyboard shortcut) choose Edit/Paste
Special/Unformatted text.
4. Click the Stop Recording Button and save the macro with a name such
as MyPaste.
5. Now assign the Ctrl-V (for Win/Lin) or Cmd-V shortcut to your MyPaste
macro in Tools/Customize, the Keyboard pane. (If you need details, write
back after giving it a try)
Now my Cmd-V shortcut pastes unformatted text. If I want to paste
formatted I press Shift-Cmd-V to open up the Paste Special dialog, or
choose Edit/Paste Special.
Does that help?
