Copy text without the format

Have you been on Sparknotes and tried to copy over to Microsoft Word just text and it did not copy over just right? Over with it came some ads, some indention's, and tables. You really didn't want that. You just want the text without the format. I have been in that position so many times. Here is the solution, Instead of copying (CTRL + C) directly from the web to Word try copying from the web to Notepad. then paste (CTRL + V) to Word. You will be format free and just have the text and you may do the formatting.
