We have a remote user with Office 2000. They have to copy a section from Excel and paste it into Word. In Office 97 it defaults to paste as rtf - in Office 2000 it defaults to html. He can select Edit | Paste Special and then rtf but it would be easier to change the default "Paste" option. I couldn't find anything in Technet. Any ideas?

It would be much easier just to give them another option. Give them a shorcut to that function. Either give it a shotcut command, a button, a drop down, a rt. click box line.

I have to deal with many PCs on a daily basis. It makes every thing much easier if everybody is alike. Just add a feature or 2 where you have to. It is a very quick fix.

Yes you could modify the default paste mode, but with less effort and another line of the rt. click, why bother? It gives them the option.

We still prefer to modify the default paste mode (to match what all the other pcs are doing). While this says we can, it doesn't say how. Give me a how and I'll accept the answer.
