Ahhhh,,... MS Word Sanity

It had never occurred to me before, but to bypass the hideous annoyance of word pasting the reformatting for everything you paste simply:

1. Create a macro that does "paste unformatted"
2. Assign it to Ctrl-V

Couldn't be simpler.

Sub PasteUnformatted()
    Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatPlainText)
End Sub

Flash audio in Hardy Heron

Grr,... Adobe Flash gives no audio when using default installation in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.

You need to install the package 'libflashsupport' - ala:

sudo aptitude install libflashsupport

Apparently part of the problems with the move to Pulse Audio. More details at.
