Remove Formatting when Pasting Text Originally Posted September 28 2008

For example, if you are looking at a web page and need to copy a model number, serial number, or something with detail, you can merely highlight/select it, press CTRL + C to copy, open a Word document, Excel Spreadsheet, or E-mail then press CTRL + P to paste it. But, there may be a problem - the formatting of the text will probably transfer to what ever you pasted it in to. Here's how you can overcome it.
When you paste, instead of pressing CTRL + P,
1. Edit > Paste Special
2. Select Unformatted Text
3. Click OK
*This process works in most Microsoft programs
