As I have already stated several times, you practically already have what you are asking for by using the down arrow next to the Paste Icon on the toolbar! 2 clicks instead of one. I'm sure the programmers are going to want to program that 1 click out. Roxy

As I already said, I don´t like having to type either and would rather paste. Just LO makes pasting more troublesome than typing, so type because it´s less troublesome. > IMHO, you would have to be an extremely fast typist to accomplish what > I just finished by typing everything in.

As I already said, what I need to get into my document is a few short lines like a street address and some other things from different places on a web page. I need to do that frequently. I don´t need to go through 10 large spreadsheets and get all their contents into one document. That´s probably something not done frequently, it probably involves copying a lot of data and it doesn´t involve web pages and perhaps not any other application than LO itself. In this case, you have a completely different application of copy and paste than I do. Nonetheless I think it would be useful if you could set a default for how to paste instead of having to chose every time when pasting. > If you use the standard Toolbar there is an icon for cut, copy, & > paste.

It´s not convenient, though, because first you need to figure out which icon to use, then you need to hit the very tiny down-arrow, then you need to click on the pretty small "unformatted text" entry. You might not understand it, but to me, the design is ergonomically horrible. I´m not good at remembering icons and don´t care about them, having to hit such a tiny spot with the mouse pointer is straining, working as "visually oriented" as some people seem to do easily is exhausting for me. I don´t use these toolbars. It´s much easier just to move the mouse pointer over a window and to press the paste-button. LO doesn´t need to make things so difficult. > You could use the Macro by assigning it to something like Ctrl+U, as > suggested elsewhere, but since I would already be using my mouse to > select the text, I think clicking the Paste Icon Down Arrow on the > toolbar would be just as easy and just as fast as letting go of the > mouse and hitting Ctrl+U. Hmmmmmmm. See, that´s one of the things I´m saying: I don´t want to have to switch between mouse and keyboard to paste a few lines into my document. Hm. Perhaps I can find a way to put an icon into the toolbar that pastes unformatted text? ... YES! I just did :) It´s not an icon, it makes a big field in the toolbar, labled "Unformatierten Text einfügen" ("insert unformatted text"). That makes a nicely big field easy enough to click :) I´ll use that now. Still users should be able to set a default pasting 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
