I spotted this post on Scott Watermasysk's site the other day. I've been looking for something like PureText for ages.

I almost never want to take the source formatting of text I copy from documents, or the web and almost always want the pasted text to assume the format of the target document. In Office - with some complicated maneuvering you can use Paste Special... and choose unformatted text - but it's a real hassle and gets in the way of quick document assembly.

I smile now every time I hear the PureText sound as I happily past plain text into whatever I'm working on, from wherever I've copied. :-) Nice one Steve Miller and thanks a bunch...
