    Copy/paste results in large "dot" drawing inserted instead of text - Windows7

    When I highlight and copy text from an Internet page, and then paste to Word or Excel, a large dot which apparently is a drawing object is inserted instead of the text.

    If You just want the text

    copy from IE
    Paste in top Windows Notepad
    Copy from Notepad
    Paste into M$ Word

    The applications are trying to be cleaver and Your copy is HTML in WWW format and so goes bonkers

    Pictures are copy object and paste into Word one at a time, remember to format the pictures as tight
    NOTE these pictures can be slippery / naughty little buggers best of times when the decide to skate around and mess up Word documents so make 'em tight
