[mso] Re: Word 2003 - match destination formatting

Thanks to everybody who replied on this.  I've got into the groove of =
Ctrl C
(or X) and Ctrl V so any other keystrokes are just going to slow me down
further.  What I really wanted was to set the default to match =
destination
but from the looks of it that=92s not available.  Thanks anyway.

Try using the keyboard Alt + E, S, U, U

Holding the Alt key & pressing the underscored letter of a menu heading,
opens that menu.
Then without using the Alt key, pressing the series of underscored =
letter to
access menu items.

Hope that helps
Not a typist by any means, but I do prefer to use the keyboard wherever
possible.

Hi thanks for this - but is this Kim Robin or Justin? <winks>

Yes I do mean fonts etc.  For instance, if I copy from one doc that has
normal style set as Arial 10pt and the normal style in the destination
document is Times New Roman 12 pt, I want it to pick up the destination
formatting without always being asked to confirm it my choice.  It's yet
another of those annoying things that takes a true typist's hands away =
from
the keyboard hunting for the mouse that I could do without!

Certainly my autotext does NOT deliver this, and I can't see how =
SmartTags
would do it either.  Paste Special defeats the object also as there is =
no
keyboard shortcut for it and it seems like overkill to start creating =
macros
for something that IMHO should already exist as an onboard macro!

By formatting, do you just mean font and font size? In my experience,=20
autotext automatically takes on the formatting of the document you are =
in. I

have not had it work any differently.

Smart tags can be used to specify Match Destination Formatting.

I dont know enough about macros to be able to answer that one.

For cut and paste, try using Paste Special and pasting as plain text.
