Sometimes you don't want any fancy formatting when you paste text from somewhere else into your document in Microsoft Office Word 2007. For example, you want to copy information from your company's Web site into a memo that you are writing for your team. When you paste the Web page content into a new, blank Word document, you don't want the formatting that the Web site used for headings, fonts, and hyperlinks.
One solution is to paste the text into a file in Notepad, and then copy the text from Notepad and paste the result into Word. But there is a much easier way.
