RE: paste special ...text option
Brilliant. Thanks to all for their suggestions. I am now extra-click free. The winner is HOVtext. Its like someone designed an application just for me! And so easy to use; it just works straight away. I am forever wanting to "paste-special ...text" in all kinds of contexts and forever getting frustrated by the extra clicks etc. I will use this tool alot. -Pete -Original message- From: "Steve Cavanaugh" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 07:01:15 +1000 To: "Combs, Richard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: paste special ...text option > It seems to work on both clipboards from tests I just performed here. > Once installed, you get a system tray icon that is green in the center. > Green means strip the formatting.

RE: paste special ...text option
It seems to work on both clipboards from tests I just performed here. Once installed, you get a system tray icon that is green in the center. Green means strip the formatting. If you click the icon once, the green turns to red, which means the HOVtext tool is disabled and the clipboard works as normal. Click again and it's back to green. That makes it easy to go back and forth from normal behavior to clean text behavior. I love it!

There is an easier approach. HOVtext is a public domain system utility that automatically strips formatting from items you have copied to the clipboard.

RE: paste special ...text option
Sorry, Kay, but this useful trick (which was also suggested by Mark Southee, Rick Quatro, and Winifred Reng) is not going to do what Peter needs. Peter complains that Text is the *third* option in his Paste Special dialog, and that fact indicates that he is cutting (or copying) and pasting content from *within*FrameMaker*. If he were pasting content from an external application (e.g. MS Word) via the Windows clipboard, the Text option would be the more like the fifth or sixth item in the list. The problem is that the ClipboardFormatsPriorities item in maker.ini only affects pasting from the Windows clipboard. It does *not* affect the paste operation for content that is coming from a FrameMaker file. The only way to paste FrameMaker content as unformatted text is to use Paste Special. And that's why Peter wants to change the order of items in that dialog's list. Unfortunately, I don't believe that there is any way to alter that list, particularly since it is a context-sensitive list. The ClipboardFormatsPriorities parameter does not affect the order of items in the Paste Special dialog's list; it only affects the behavior of the standard paste command (e.g. Ctrl+P) so that you don't have to use Paste Special as often. It's also important to remember that maker.ini does not exist in the Mac version of FrameMaker, so that this ClipboardFormatsPriorities trick is useless on that platform. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
