Not sure if this appropriate to put as a question or not? It's sort of a scripting question I think. Just down vote me if not :p

Basically, what I'm looking for is a way to push a windows hotkey and have whatever text is in the clipboard be stripped of formatting. An example of what the macro could do:

• I push (whatever hotkey combo here)
• open notepad.exe
• Paste to notepad from clipboard
• Select all text in notepad
• Copy/Cut all text from notepad
• Close notepad

I'm just wondering if someone has done something like this before, or knows how it could be accomplished. I think this could be a huge time-saver for almost anyone. I find myself doing this all the time when cutting and pasting between different office applications, etc.
