Pasting problems in Word 2010
Quentin Christensen
Hi Brian, I must admit I was in the habit too for a few years of copying things (particularly off the web) into Notepad and then copying again into Word when I wanted plain text. I have found copying things into word, pressing paste then control then t seems to give me what I want in the same situations though and is that little bit easier once you get used to it. Bhavya, You are right, it may well be worth giving more indication when pasting. One other thing I meant to mention, when you paste into Word, if you do want to do something immediately afterward that involves control, after you paste your text, press escape and that gets rid of that "control" prompt popup in that instance (it still appears next time you paste something). Kind regards Quentin.

Hi Quentin,

Sure, it was really confusing and boggling. Now that the problem is fully resolved, I no longer am affected by it. But, this may be an aspect where NVDA may require improvement, because considering the rareness of Ctrl as a keystroke may make it an information unknown to many, and thus an issue... However, if there haven't been reports indicative of such confusion, then perhaps, NVDA is great in its current state. Just thinking... Thanks all the same for all the help, I am a happy camper now!

I have to say I've taken to pasting stuff into a notepad and then cutting and pasting from there to avoid some of the weird effects. I suspect that word used its own clipboard and its tthe translation between the normal and word and back that can end in some odd effects.

You're welcome! It's one of those features, that works really well when you know it exists and have a need for it, but if you're not expecting it can be very confusing. It's one of the only instances I can think of - aside from silencing NVDA - where pressing the control key on its own actually does something. Regards Quentin.

Hi Bhavya, In any case, when you paste something, a little hover icon thing appears and if you press CONTROL, that expands and you can choose the pasting style you want (the most common one I tend to use is control, then t (note you can't do it as one keystroke, you need to press control, let go then press t) to paste as plain text. So yes, if the next thing you do after pasting is something that involves control, it looks like that gets grabbed by the paste options. I don't have Word 2010 in front of me just at the minute, but in Word 2016 at least, if you go into options then "advanced" there is a cut and paste section and one of the options (it's alt+o but might be safer to tab to it just in case) is "Show paste options button when content is pasted". If you uncheck that, you won't get that control issue. If you do that, you can still get to the extra paste options by going to the paste option in the ribbon. Kind regards Quentin.

Dear all,
In Microsoft Word 2010, one of the most annoying problems I am facing is the constant reminder to choose the pasting style whenever I paste something from a part of the document to another. If I arrow around, then this doesn't appear, but only when I Ctrl + up/down arrow to navigate by paragraphs. I tried choosing default paste this time form the two options given but in the Advanced Word Settings dialog it popped up too, I found all types of pasting situations having already set default pasting settings. This gets very cumbersome when I need to navigate often by the pasted section of text, as this pasting menu suddenly appears and obstructs my path temporarily. I would sincerely appreciate any assistance. Thanks. -- Warm Regards Bhavya Shah Using NVDA (Non Visual Desktop Access) free and open source screen reader for Microsoft Windows To download a copy of the free screen reader NVDA, please visit http://www.nvaccess.org/ Using Google Talkback on Motorolla G second generation Lollipop 5.0.2 Reach me through the following means: Mobile: +91 7506221750 E-mail id: bhavya.shah125@...
