Copy plain text ONLY
When copying to notepad, or pasting into Word 10.0+ and selecting copy Plain
text only, Word edits the text by replacing special characters, etc. Also, if the text contains bullet or number ***FORMATTING***, Word will iinsert/i a bullet character followed by a tab, which did not even exist in the document. Paste as plain text should do what it says, to actually copy all of and only the text present in the document. The same problem occurs when pasting as plain text from one Word document into another, as when pasting from Word into Notepad. Presumably, Word places incorrect text on the plaintext section of the clipboard. -- PC U ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Copy plain text ONLY
Pasting as unformatted text results in the same problem. I think the problem
is that when Word copies text, it is stored correctly when formatted but incorrectly when not. Thus, when pasting into Word normally, Word reads the formatted text on the clipboard, so the text pastes correctly. However, when pasting as plain text in Word (or pasting into Notepad), the program reads the incorrect unformatted text copied by Word. -- PC U "Stefan Blom" wrote: Have you tried pasting as "Unformatted text", via Edit | Paste Special? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pc u" wrote in message ...
