Default how to avoid HTML when copy/paste from a web page?

Glad to have helped.

When I want to print a passage from a web page, either print-friendly
or
not,
I swipe the mouse over the passage, then hit COPY. Later I past this
into
my
word processor. Lotus Symphony and WordPerfect give me text when I do
this,
but MSWord2007 pastes the section as HTML.

Sometimes, that is a good thing; but other times I just want text with
no
hyperlinks or graphics. How do i get rid of the HTML when i don't want
it?

Thanks.
