IN WRITET, PLEASE INCLUDE THE SIMPLE OPTION TO ALLOW THE DEFAULT PASTE TO BE UNFORMATTED TYPE TEXT. I use Writer to fill out forms for my business. The data is coming from PayPal (and other sources online). If you paste FORMATTED text, the font type, size, etc is changed in my templates when pasting. But it is too much trouble to select "paste special" every time I fill in another box in my forms. THIS IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
Created attachment 116032 [details] printscreen Hello, already implemented: Right click - paste special - unformatted text
Raal: reading tdf#91623 and tdf#91624 (which are dups), we can't consider this one as WFM. The reporter would like an option in Options so Ctrl-V default behaviour may be changed to "unformatted text". Let's reopen this one and close the dups Arn: I don't know if it's a good idea or not, we could ask to UI team if you want. First, what about doing this? - click Menu Tools/Customize - Select Keyboard tab - in bottom left panel (under "Category"), select "Edit" - in bottom middle panel (under "Function"), select "Paste Unformatted Text" => in bottom right panel, you'll see the default shortcut "Ctrl+Alt+Shit+V" Now - in top panel, select "Ctrl+V" - click button Modify Result: "Paste Unformatted Text" would be used with 2 shortcuts: - the default one "Ctrl+Alt+Shit+V" - the new one "Ctrl+V" This customization has to be done once, not once per doc.

Hi Arn, Writing in UPPERCASE is considered as shouting and seen as very impolite. Can you please stop doing that? thanks, I think that the change of the summary now best reflects your idea. Cheers, Cor
To Cor Nouws, Julian Nabet, raal, and anyone who cares to consider why I am asking for this "Paste Unformatted Text as default" option: 1) I am using 4.4.3.2. It does not seem to have the right-click pull down option of "Paste Special / Unformatted Text" - wish it did. (What am I missing on this?) 2) You all are missing the point. My business (and hundreds of others I bet) would like to use Writer forms (or template documents) into which they could paste data from various sources without altering the text formatting they already set up in their forms. When you paste formatted text into a Writer document it brings along the text formatting, of course, changing the formatting in the form! see? Although there are two ways see to paste unformatted text, those ways are cumbersome compared to allowing the end user to simply select a default pasting type as Formatted text or Unformatted text and get on with their work. It slows us down too much to have to do something additional every time we simply want to paste data into our Receipt Form - so we will not use Writer (but wish we could). Here we primarily paste data into our business forms - which we designed... 3) This is a simple but important option that needs to be offered as a user selectable option. When mainly writing reports or letters it seems like a person would select Paste Formatted Text. But if you are filling in forms with data copied from PayPal etc, you would want to paste Unformatted Text. Surely I have explained all this thoroughly enough for you guys to get the picture pretty well by now. (See how they do it in WPS Office - a VERY slick competing Hong Kong bases Office suite, you know?) Cor, it WOULD be SO useful to have a tool bar button which would allow one to toggle Paste Formatted/Unformatted Text. A very nice suggestion of yours! (The guys over at Open Office SHOULD follow your lead on this...) Sorry about writing in upper case, earlier - was just trying to get your attention = seemed frustrated like you guys were missing the importance of this - at least as far as business uses went. Thank you for your consideration and attention about this important feature (not really a bug). (There are some other bugs though).
