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

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.
