2 questions
1. I'm about to install OO on about 10 windows machines - if a new release is expected in the near future, I'd like to wait.
2. Is there a way to change the default Copy option so that it is Unformatted text? If not, is there a feature request for this?
tnx

In this context, it's perhaps worth commenting that there is also
already a keyboard shortcut for this function:
o Ctrl+V: ordinary Paste
o Ctrl+Shift+V: Paste Special (brings up the dialogue including
"Unformatted text")
o Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V: Paste Unformatted Text
(Thank you for the pointer to this, which I had not been aware of and
will find useful!)
I trust this helps.

I guess I'll have to live with that - I'm a keyboard person more than a pointing device person.
Thanks to all.

Your picture is of the Visible Buttons drop-down for the Formatting
toolbar. The Paste button is instead in the Standard toolbar (and you
should find it appears by default and does not need to be selected).
I trust this helps.

Hi,
AFAIK the drop-down part of the paste button is automatically shown as
soon as more than one option would be available.
Sincerely,

I don't see it. Attached is a screen shot of the visible buttons. FWIW I'm using OS X and AOO 4.1.1
As I mentioned earlier, I'm more of a keyboard user than a pointer/clicker.

To add to the usefulness of the above, I have included the Paste Icon on
the Toolbar. (The icon is on the drop down of visible buttons so just
highlight it there*) The drop down arrow gives a number of options
including Unformatted text. The same icon on the tool bar also helps when
using Calc. If you do a lot of 'copy and paste' work this is very useful
and time saving.
(* I am not sure now if I had to add it as an extra icon to the Visible
list or whether it was there on that list all the time. I have been using
it for so long that I do not remember. Even if you have to add it as an
extra icon on the tool bar it is well worth doing)
Hope this helps some members of the list.

I have no idea if you can change the default, but as a workaround you
can add en entry to the edit menu.
Go to Tools --> Customize
Select the Menus tab and the Edit menu click the Add button
From the menu select Edit as Category and Paste Unformatted Text as
