Also, if you are fairly certain there is not any "extra" formatting in the information you are copying, then just use paste. I think the Paste Special item came about because so many people started pasting stuff from web pages into documents (which is really nice) and didn't like what they were getting in their documents. Course, lots of folks, including myself, didn't understand just exactly what the command was for when it became available in M$ Office. Roxy

It´s another thing making pasting very difficult. When I still tried, I think I was confused all the time because the option for "unformatted text" kept changing its position in the pop-up window so that many times, I clicked on an option I didn´t want and hit enter and then had to undo and start over. > In other words, if there is absolutely no html within the selection, > that option may not be in the popup window. Then two options may be needed: 1.) default pasting type 2.) warn or ask or silently fall back to another option in case there´s nothing to paste which is of the default type -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
