I remember when it was Shift-Insert to paste. Which still works. :laugh:
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

"Paste as plain text" How have I been a Windows (and probably works in other OS's as well?) for years and years and not know that keyboard shortcut? So useful, as I copy and paste stuff all the time. Not code! Things like a Teams message into an email, or vice versa, or quote that I'm citing in an essay, or something in Excel to an email, ... the list goes on. Well, I guess you can teach an old dog a new trick. :laugh:

This opens the Run dialog, pastes the clipboard into the edit box, then copies the text back out.
Ok, that is seriously weird (like his other Ctrl+F solution) - to open something with an edit box. Good grief.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Old dogs Unite! Me too. I'll have to try this later on this morning. I wonder can you teach puppies too?
I doubt it. From my experience, 'puppies' would say "what is keyboard shortcut? I just right-click...." :| But Marc, thanks for that reminder of a shortcut I always forget about. I LOVE keyboard shortcuts - I had to especially learn them when first using Excel 2.1 on a runtime version of Windows with no mouse. :cool:
