microsoft word: copy without formatting

Question

When I copy a text from Microsoft Word and the text is a heading in the clipboard I see it included a paragraph number. Then in another application I must remove the number manually. Can I copy just a text without any additional information? (The same is with Chrome when you copy a URL it adds a http:// automatically)

Answer 1

Try this

Sub FormatFreeTextCopy()
    Dim ffText As DataObject
    Set ffText = New DataObject
    ffText.setText Selection.Text
    ffText.PutInClipboard
End Sub

Note: You would have to Reference to Microsoft Forms Object Library
