When copying text from one document to another, it gets really gnarly when
the pasted text not only does not come out in the format of the document you
are pasting into but looks nothing like the format from where it was copied.
The only work around is to paste the selection as unformatted text. However,
when one has to access the Edit>Paste Special menu over and over again, it
becomes not only tedious but time-consuming.
Of course, there is the "Keep Text Only" option when something has just been
pasted, but this does not always work, especially when dealing with tables.
"Paste special" is still the most painless way of doing it.
Putting a "Paste special" in the right-click menu (which already has "Copy",
"Cut" and "Paste" among other useful things) will significantly and
dramatically improve editing. Excel already has such functionality and I am
surprised and disappointed that they don't have it in Word.
