Well, not really. Paste with the format applicable at the point of entry. Mac OSX 10.6.4 OOo 3.2.1
I can paste with the format applicable at the point of entry if I use Cmd+Alt+Shift+V, as opposed to Cmd+V which pastes the incoming text in the format from which it came. I'd like to make the pasting of unformatted text the default, and either reverse the system so that Cmd+Alt+*Shift+V uses the formatting at the origin, or so that I have to use the menu and Paste Special/Formatted Text to do so. I don't mind which. It's so rare that I paste with the original formatting. To make it quite clear what I am trying to do: I copy text from one application where the text is in, say, Arial 24pt. I want to paste it into a document which is formatted for Courier 12pt. If I copy with Cmd+C and paste with Cmd+V I get the text in Arial 24pt - NOT what I want. If I paste with Cmd+Alt+Shift+V, I get the inputted text in Courier 12pt. I would like to change the effect of Cmd+V so that it pastes the text in Courier 12pt. I found a method in the archives which involved creating a macro and applying it to Cmd+V, but it does not appear to work, even after a restart of OOo. I'm sure I saw a reference to this recently - one which actually gave me the knowledge of the Cmd+Alt+Shift+V method - but I can't find it now. Can someone help please? TIA //James
