Does anyone know how to copy stuff from Outlook or Word without getting lots of unwanted extra HTML?

Driving me crazy!

Copy your material out of the email/message/etc. ... then in Word, select EDIT --- > Paste Special. When the Paste Special window comes up, you should be able to select a couple of different forms of raw-text output.

Is that what you were thinking of?

Yes, thank you very much. Saved me a hell of a lot of retyping.

There's also the stopover paste in notepad that strips all formatting.
