Is there a way to find out if the text in an MS Word document is pasted or typed?

Is there any macro or something that can be created or is there any software available to detect that?

I'm talking of days after the document has been created and I'm viewing it on another system.

  1. I think that typing and pasting are the same for Word the input comes from an external source...So I am afraid it is bad luck...


  2. Sorry yar..

    i too checked ..

    I think its not possible to find out.

  3. yes there is a option of find may in 'edit' tab or simply do ctrl+f then type the desire word click to find next option

  4. No. Doesn't matter what computer you're viewing it on, or when you're viewing it.  There is no difference between "pasted" text and typed text.  To the computer (not just "word"), it's just text (and more specifically just a collection of 1's and 0's). The program has no idea how it got there.  It could have been typed, it could have been pasted, it could have been imported, it could have been "hacked" or any other method of getting the text into the document.  Bottom line is, word just knows the text exists in the document and displays it accordingly.  It doesn't know or care how it got there.

    that "person" is full of it.  No way in h*** anyone (I don't care who they are or what they claim) can tell pasted vs typed text.
