Excel should have keyboard shortcuts for paste value and paste format

I probably use those features more than anything else.

maybe set it to cntrl+ w or something.

Hi "aricshoe",

See

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/paste.htm#formulas
formulas are covered in more detail in
Right Click Menus (Context Menus) in Excel
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/rightclick.htm

When you assign a shortcut key combination, you might want to make
sure to stay away from builtin shortcuts, or at least be aware of you might be
losing. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/shortx2k.htm


Though you are looking for keyboard shortcuts, you still might want a
general purpose usage of pasting a value from anywhere, cross-application see
PureText 2.0 to remove formatting from data saved to clipboard, and then paste to Excel.
Pure Text can be invoked by clicking on its toolbar icon. http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/
