Formulas become just numbers. I might mention I like a command line too. Nothing like the old tried and true ways.

That will remove formating. I guess its all down to number of key strokes. All these methods work well, but why not copy & paste into

That causes Paste as Plain Text to be bound to Alt+1. In Excel I can add Paste Values to the beginning of the Quick Access Toolbar. In the Outlook email editor, I create an equivalent macro and put it in the Quick Access Toolbar. Excel and Outlook don't support custom shortcut key, but with this approach I can use the same shortcut to paste plain text in all the apps.
