Microsoft Office Assistance: Paste Text Without the Formatting into a Word Document

I recently stubled upon this fix for one of MS Word’s most irratating features…you know, when you paste something from a web page or another Word doc and it pastes it with the source document’s font face, size and color—rather than formatting it to match the document you’re working on. Typical of microsoft, there’s no easy way to set “paste as unformatted text” as the default paste action—you have to create a macro and then map the ctrl+v keystroke to that action…but it’s well worth the effort to cure this annoyance.
