Thanks Mike...
if others wonder, in Word 2003, I had to be a bit more tricky:
in normal.dot, create a macro with the following procedure:

Sub EditPaste_noFormat()
On Error Resume Next
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
End Sub

Then put an icon on the toolbar that links to it, and assign the key
ALT+V (unassigned) to it... so you are not loosing the formated paste!

Alternatively, if you call the function "EditPaste()", then doing
"paste" or "CRTL+V" will paste without formating... and you must go
through "special paste" to keep the formating!
