(With FrameMaker 11 it's here: c:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\11\maker.ini) Copy the entry from the maker.ini in the FrameMaker installation directory: c:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\maker.ini The entry which you should copy is: ClipboardFormatsPriorities=FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF, DIB, BMP, UNICODE TEXT, TEXT Change it so that UNICODE TEXT is at the beginning of the list. You could also use tools like PureText to paste always as text: http://stevemiller.net/puretext/ Or you could use an AutoHotkey script like this one: AutoHotkey script to reomve formatting when pasting.
