As somebody who uses MS products at work I'm often frustrated! I think the norm is for a simple 'paste' to chose the most 'obvious' option. Although it is not always 'obvious' to me! Many applications have an additional option in the edit menu Paste Special... which opens up a dialogue box with all the possible options. The dialogue changes with the object being pasted. (I quite often use it to achieve particular effects - good when working within Excel and copying to Word!) Would that work with OPW?
