Hi,

I'm trying to write a macro for WINWORD, and there seems to be some kind of problem with the macro recorder not recognizing the paste settings I specify.

I'm trying to get the macro to paste ONLY the text in the clipboard
using the 'Edit'>'Paste Special...'>'Unformatted Text' operation. This is essential, because along with the text in the clipbord for the intended procedure is a sinificant number of check boxes and hyperlinks -- so many, that attempting to simply paste it all into word causes the program to lock up and stop responding. When I record the macro, I specify the above paste setting, and it pastes the text in the clipboard, just as it is supposed to, I then continued to record the remainder of the macro, which was mostly a string of find-replace commands.

Unfortunately, when the macro is executed, it does not observe the paste settings, and attempts to paste the text with all of he formatting, images, links and so-on, and Word crashes. The VBS statement it uses is:

Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)

Is there any alternative VBS statement or recording method I could use to accomplish the task I need?

PS. The Macro is designed to seperate the 200-300 or so needed strings in an HTML document from the formatting and unecessary data, and add to the strings to make them recognizable by a specific web-based application. Aside from the initial paste statement which locks up word, the rest runs perfectly (verified by performing the paste-special operation FIRST and then cutting the text-only result from the document before running the macro)

any help would be apprecuated, thanks =)
