I think Robert is right - although I don't know of a direct command to paste
in that manner Illy does have a Create Outlines command in the Type menu...
Perhaps that is what you're remembering?

On my old system, I somehow was able to copy text in a word 2007

that this is not the same as the text being pasted into the text tool
of these respective programs--they were pasted as curve objects, not
text objects.

When I build my new system and reinstalled all the software, I can no
longer do that. I'm assuming I must have had a setting set, but that
I don't remember now. Anyone know how to do this?

Did you have Word 2007 before? In general, I would look in the receiving
application (Illustrator) first for instructing it on what to do with
clipboard content.
