And at least on the Mac you can press Cmd+Shift+Alt+V and the text will be inserted at the cursor 
point in the format of the document you are pasting to, not the format of the text in the document 
you took it from.  This is apparently not documented anywhere.  Very useful.  But I've not been 
able to find a way to change the key combination to something simpler.  If you're not using a Mac, 
you can test Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V and maybe let us know.

Presumably there is a key combination which would paste it in the format of the originating 
document, but who on earth would want that?  :)
