Re: "Paste-Special" Automation/Command Keys



Looks like a good solution but note that Alex mentioned *all* Office 2007 apps.
PowerPoint doesn't allow you to assign shortcut keys to macros, unfortunately.

Alex, if PPT becomes an issue, have a look at Chirag Dalal's Shortcut Manager
at http://officeone.mvps.org/

I don't know whether it works with Office 2007 but if so, it might solve the
problem for you.

Hello Alex,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to set shortcut
keys for the 'Paste Special' settings. If I'm off base, please feel free to
let me know.

I think we can do it by setting shortcut keys to macros that do the 'Paste
Special'.
Step 1: In the 'Developer' Ribbon of Microsoft Office, choose 'Record
Macro'. Name the macro and press OK.

Step 2: Record the macro: do your 'Paste Special' operations based on the
actual needs. For instance, you click the Paste->Paste Special Ribbon in
Home menu, and choose 'Unformatted Unicode Text'. Office will record all
your behaviors into VBA codes. Finally, click 'Stop Recording' and you will
find the macro's VBA in Microsoft Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11). For
instance, for 'Unformatted Unicode Text', you will see VBA code:
Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=20, Placement:=wdInLine,
DisplayAsIcon:=False
You can also refer to the page
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/de-de/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.selec
tion.pasteandformat(VS.80).aspx and
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/de-de/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.wdrec
overytype(VS.80).aspx to learn how to write Select. PasteSpecial without
the macro recorder.
Note: If you only do *ONE* PasteSpecial operation, such as 'Unformatted
Unicode Text', when you record the macro, it is possible that the macro
recorder regards it as your default operation and generates:
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault). On such cases, you need to
modify the VBA according to the above two MSDN articles.

Step 3: Assign a shortcut key to the macro: Open the 'Word Option' window
by clicking 'Word Options' in Office 2007 menu. Switch to the Customize tab
and click the button Keyboard shortcuts Customize. In the Categories list
of the 'Customize Keyboard' dialog, choose 'Macros', then the macro
recorded in step2 will be listed. Set a shortcut key for the macro and
click 'Close'. The following URL links to a detailed description of how to
assign shortcut keys to macros in Office 2003.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.
