Clive,
Thanks for the tips.
Yet, it is really tedious not having a keyboard shortcut for the long
menu command of "Edit/Paste Special/Unformatted Text".
Mainly if you copy/paste a lot from web pages. For instance, I do with
my resume and other documents because the information required is
published in such web pages.
I hope Microsoft includes soon a keyboard shortcut for the following as
other applications (see for instance Eudora 6.1.1) have:
Copy unformatted text: Shift Command C
Paste unformatted text: Shift Command V
And also a menu command and a keyboard command to:
Copy clean text.
Paste clean text.
I mean to clean text from extra e-mail or web formatting characters
much as SmartWrap or TextSoap do.
Thanks again,
