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

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 doubt that Cmd + Alt + Shift + V is the proper combination
also. On my MacBook, I use Cmd + Shift + V and then U to select
Unformatted text from a list which includes up to several choices.
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.
