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 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.
Well, test it, Daniel, and see if you get the same effect. As I said in my
reply to Brian, I got the tip either from OOo or LibO several weeks ago.
I use it for pasting Mandarin and PinYin from various on-line dictionaries,
like Google Translate, to some tables showing Mandarin, PinYin and English.
The Mandarin symbols are nearly always about 24pt, and my table stores them as
14pt. The PinYin is grey Times New Roman and I want it in black Courier.
You say "up to several choices". What choices do you have other than Formatted
Text (RTF) and Unformatted Text?
//James
The choices with Cmd + Shift + V depend upon the format of the
copied material in Writer. When I copied this email into a Writer
document, I had two choices: HTML and Unformatted Text. When I copied
material from one Writer document to another, I had four choices:
OpenOffice.org, Formatted Text (RTF), HTML, Unformatted Text, and DDE link.
I tried the Cmd + Alt + Shift + V on my MacBook. It does work as
you described using OOo from the OOo website.
