Change default Outlook 2007 paste format to 'Keep Text Only'

Change default Outlook 2007 paste format to 'Keep Text Only'

When you paste text into an email in Outlook 2007 the default is to 'Keep source formatting' which I very rarely need. Is there a way to change the default to 'Keep Text Only' without installing a separate utility?

Click "Set Default Paste" and make keep text only your default.

"If you want a more universal solution, which can remove any and all formatting from copied text, you can try Puretext. This little Windows tool will let you unformat any text currently in the clipboard, so when you paste back, it is pasted as plain text. Very useful when pasting commands from a formatted document where the formatting translates in extra characters on the command line for Linux, for example. Also, it is for ALL Windows applications, not only Outlook.

You can look at this great utility at:
