Short cut key for PASTE using destination format

Question

In Word 2010 I would like to create a shortcut key to paste text using destination format. In other words I don't want to go through 2 or 3 steps like clicking PASTE SPECIAL and then make another selection. I realize I could change the default to use destination format but if I did that, I would want to be to have a shortcut key  to use MERGE formatting. In short, I need a shortcut key to paste using an override of the default.

You can install any or all of the following macros and assign shortcuts to them.

Sub PasteDestinationFormat()

    Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatPlainText

End Sub

Sub PasteSourceFormat()

    Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatOriginalFormatting

End Sub

Sub PasteMergeFormat()

    Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatSurroundingFormattingWithEmphasis

End Sub
