Paste to a plain text editor then back to rich text. That's what I do.

Notepad is open often.

It's this:

Alt+E, S, Up, Enter
Wqell, thanks - that works.
I wish I could do it with fewer steps. I am always pasting into MSWord in unformated.

I know of no faster method...but I'm a quick typist. Do those keystrokes enough and it will be second nature.

there was a thread on this in the right forum in December I think, and no one was able to suggest anything better than OdiN's key sequence.

Which is annoying, I need to paste unformatted all the time. Curse you Microsoft! :|

Well...you could write a macro and assign it a hotkey.

Good question :p Basically the macro for word would be written in VB, you can give it an icon and pretty sure you can give it a hotkey. But even a simple icon to click once would be better right?

It's been years since I took Visual Basic programming, but I didn't learn specifics on how to do this type of macro. What I did was more of working with databases and data and some excel macro stuff.
