To create the macro to cut and paste without formatting

  2. In the Macro name box, type PasteUnformattedText.

  3. Make sure that "All active templates and documents" is displayed in the Macros in list, and then click Create.

  4. Directly above the End Sub statement in the PasteUnformattedText subroutine, type the following line of code:

  1. On the File menu, click Close and Return to Microsoft Word.

For Word 2007, click the Developer tab on the Ribbon. (If you don’t have a Developer tab, you’ll need to choose Word Options from the Office menu and select the Show Developer Tab In The Ribbon option.) Then click the Macros button in the Code group (left end of the Ribbon), and Word will open the familiar Macros dialog box. You can proceed as described above to create the macro.

To run the macro each time you press CTRL+SHFT+V

  1. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
