Abstract

The Paste Unformatted text command exists in OpenOffice.org, but lacks direct shortcut. This specification specifies associated keyboard shortcut (CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-V on Windows/Linux, Cmd-Option-Shift-V on Mac) makes it possible to use the styling of OpenOffice.org documents more efficiently and in powerfully consistent way. The chosen shortcut is already used in Mac OS X platform, and equivalent shortcut is chosen for Windows/Linux for cross-platfrom consistency.

The greatest advantage is that no matter where the copied content originated from (web page, another office program, ...) the styling of the document being worked on is maintained by using the styling of the target document also in the pasted content.
