Sorry, but I have no idea what might be wrong here. It should not take 2 minutes to start LibO, 
even if it comes from a USB key. Maybe you can investigate more at the portableApps website? I 
think I've heard, that they have a forum, where you can ask questions.

How do you copy the text? With CTRL+C and CTRL+V? Or Shift+Delete and Shift+Insert? Those commands 
insert the copied text with its original formatting. Try "paste special" instead.  You can find 
this in the "insert" menu, where it is called "paste special". Or you can try the key combination 
CTRL+Shift+V. In the then appearing dialog box select "Text only".

I hope, this helps.
