Default Extracting the Contents of a Field

Is there a simple way to extract the text contents from a field and
paste as text while retaining the formatting?

What works is selecting half the text, copy, paste. Select the other
half, copy, paste.

If I select it all and paste, I get the field against. I thought paste
special might work but has given me no joy.

Paste the field and then unlink it (Ctrl+Shift+F9).
