Hi Dr. Tom, Here are various ways of accessing Paste Special:
Karen Schrade The old keystrokes still work in word 2010. Alt + E, then S, then U, for unformatted Unicode text. I'm delighted that it still works since I use it a lot. Karen From: Dean Martineau On the virtual menu, on the home tab, the first option is the Clipboard submenu. One of the first options under that submenu is the paste split button. Press space on that button and one of the resulting options is Paste Special. There will be a keyboard path you can follow through the ribbon but it is not available to you using the virtual menu. However, the keyboard shortcut alt+ctrl+v should work, though I find that on my system it doesn't. It would be no trouble to reassign the command to a different keystroke. Dean From: Brian Lee Hi Mike, The shortcut keystroke is Alt+CTRL+V. You can use Alt followed by H followed by V followed by S if using the ribbon method. JAWS identifies a Paste split button when you first arrow down to, Clipboard, press enter, then tab to the lower part of the ribbon from here. Pressing enter on the split button gives you the various paste options. Again though, you might just want to use the shortcut keystroke. Take care. Brian Lee [email protected] Take care.

The options did not appear, though, when I pasted the web page material I was working with into a word document. So now I'm trying to figure out how to get to the paste special unformatted text option from the home menu in Word. So far, I'm unable to locate the option.

You might use this if you copy from a document with different formatting; and particularly if you copy from the web, where embedded HTML coding can get in and screw-up your beautiful document royally. In the stuff I've read, a lot of programs allow control-shift-V for paste special. Unfortunately, I don't think Word does. In Word 2010, you are supposed to do the normal paste command--control-V--and then, follow that with a simple press of the control key. This is the control key by itself, so you'll probably need to do the pass-through key in Jaws. Then, a grid will pop up with four options: The keyboard options are: H Use destination theme; K Keep source formatting; M Merge formatting; and T Keep text only (the unformatted text option). I don't know if this will work for your needs. Because I have paste set in the Word options, I couldn't bring up these choices in my version of Word 2010. Supposedly, Jaws appears to also show this if you use the apps key where there is a paste special submenu that Jaws identifies as a table grid. But, mine only has the one option.

I'm a bit reluctant to try it here, since I don't want to risk eliminating any formatting of the many work-related documents I work with regularly. Not trying to be argumentative; just trying to learn.

The interesting thing is that I took the text from the web page I was working with, pasted it into a notepad file, and then into a word file, and the various heading and paragraph markers re-appeared. They did not appear in the original notepad file.

I have encountered a very strange problem when working with the text from e-mails that have been saved as Microsoft Word files. It seems that whenever I work with or create the files, paragraph and heading markers are read within the file. I can turn this off by going into the Jaws Quick settings menu, but as soon as I resume the editing again, paragraph and heading markers re-appear and are read in the newly-edited document. Interestingly, they are also now read in any other MS Word document I open later on. Does anyone know how I can turn the reading of paragraph and heading markers off for good! I'm using Office 2010, and Jaws version 16.0.3048 on this Windows 7 work laptop.
