Macro doesn't record correctly Word 2003

Hello

I'm not very experienced at macros but I record little ones just to
quicken repetitive tasks.

Today I recorded a macro on 3 machines with Word 2002 that pasted
unformatted text at the cursor (Paste Special | Unformatted Text) and
assigned it a shortcut key.

I did exactly the same thing on a machine with Word 2003 and it
wouldn't work - looking at the code it is only recording a straight
paste. I did it over and over and in the end I just wrote the right
code in myself, using the code from one of the other machines and it
works fine.

Is there some different way of handling this that I have missed in
Word 2003? I certainly followed the same procedure that had worked on
the other machine.

Win2000
Office 2002 / 2003

Many thanks

Deborah
 
I can't reproduce this. In Word 2003, I recorded the paste of unformatted
text (Edit | Paste Special | Unformatted) and this is what was recorded:

Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdFloatOverText, DisplayAsIcon:=False

which is unformatted text.
 
Thank you for your reply.

Yes, this is the code I ended up copying and pasting from the macro on the
other machines with Word 2002, but which I couldn't get to record using Word
2003. The only thing it confirms is that I must have been doing something
wrong on the Word 2003. At least it is me and not the programme, I guess :)

Thanks again

Deb
