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'm slightly surprised by this. The Windows keyboard shortcut is
Ctrl+Shift+V, so I'd imagine the Mac one would be Cmd+Shift+V - with no Alt.
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, ...
I have version 3.1.1 for Windows XP, so you may have to work out how
all this applies to your Mac version.
You can change the effect of keyboard shortcuts at Tools |
Customize... | Keyboard. Under Functions | Category, select
Edit. Under Functions | Function, select Paste or Paste Special, as
the case may be. Under "Shortcut keys", now select the key
combination you wish to be assigned to this function. Click Modify
to make the change.
Note that at the top right of the Customize panel you can choose
whether you wish the shortcut to apply to OpenOffice generally or
only in Writer, Calc, and so on. (You get to see only the component
for the type of document you currently have open.) You will see that
Ctrl+V is defined for OpenOffice generally but that Ctrl+Shift+V is
defined separately for Writer and Calc (and others?). You will have
to decide exactly how you want to reconfigure this.
Note also that Paste Special does not paste unformatted, but merely
gives you this choice as a separate step in its dialogue box. I
don't know any way to avoid that.
I trust this helps.
