Hello! I was expirienced the same problem as you, but I think that the cause is in the MS word 2003. It does not make the macros good. Below I geve a right macros code. You can put it into you normal.dot template as a saved text file by importing to macros, or to create new macros from Tools menu , click Macros, then click create button. A visual basic editor opens witn sample code: Sub Macro() and End Sub at end of macro. You can put my code as is: Sub Paste_Unformated_Text() ' ' PasteUnfText Macro ' Macro recorded 15.8.2003 by Ilia ' Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _ wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False End Sub I think this will resolve your problem. If you have any questions or problems, feel yourself freeto write me! Kind regards, Iliya
