I Want to Automatically Choose Specific Text After Pasting the Clipboard

Since the goalpost continues to move, I’m out. Early on, I specifically asked what application/program you were using and expected some specifics. Then you went from needing simple text to formatted text. Now you identified the application. Maybe if you give clear and concise examples of exactly what you want, someone else can chime in. At this point, I’m not going to guess. I’m sure what ever you need can be done.

Ok, thank you for help, I'm just trying to simplify the problem and solve it step by step, but despite that, I haven't found the exact right way.

BTW I started out using the clipboard, not plain text, I have an explanation later why I used the clipboard.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

You’re welcome. You should’ve said you wanted formatting preserved as that changes everything. Good luck with that!

I've created a useful macro with everyone's ideas, which basically contains all the methods you've told me about

This method has a prompt box, there is a replace keyword, there is a picture identification, as a novice implementation, this is not easy, no help, I can't do it, thank you again.
