While using a word processor I prefer to user the keyboard almost exclusively, but when pasting text in MS Word I seem forced to use the mouse. I can find no way to specify how to treat formatting (keep source / match destination / text only) on a one-off basis without using the mouse (distracting and slow) or altering my default settings (even worse).

Is there a way to do this? It seems to me I need **either** a keyboard shortcut to enter the *Paste Options* dialogue after pasting **or** a different command that I can use to specify the formatting option. I looked at *Paste Special*, but that only seems to provide one relevant option, namely ‘text only’ (*Unformatted Text*), while I want ‘keep’ or ‘match’ as well.

I am using MS Word 2007, but an answer applying to other versions would obviously be more generally useful.

P.S. I use MS Office’s Dutch UI for compatibility with colleagues, so various keys and texts above may be inaccurate.
