Basically this is the same as was suggested above by Anton Konashenok. The only difference is that you use icons.

Does it remember my last choice? I needed something that I could press a shortcut for, since I had to paste a lot.

You don't need a macro. Just go to File > Options > Customize ribbon > Keyboard shortcuts [Customize], then choose:
Categories: All commands
Commands: PasteTextOnly
Press new shortcut key: a key combination of your choice
Click "Assign".
Done.

Hello everyone

My Word installation is wonky. Some things don't work. For example, Shift+Ctrl+V does nothing, even though it is supposed to be the shortcut for the PasteFormat command. So, does anyone know a short macro that, when run, pastes the plain text version of the clipboard at the cursor position? I can then hopefully tie the shortcut to the macro.

Thanks
Samuel
