Pasting Web page copy into DW MX 2004

Don't want font tags, etc. to automatically be pasted into page

[webbguy]

Here's my dilemma... whenever I copy some text from another Web site (we compile summaries of news stories with their associated links for our target audience) and paste into DW MX 2004, the associated HTML code comes with it. As a result, I end up having to strip out font tags and their ilk from the page I am working on. I haven't been able to find a preference that disables this feature. Anyone run into this problem and have any insights?

I cut and paste into notepad first, then paste into DW. Solves the problem.

Ah, so simple. Thanks!

There's also the Paste Text option under the Edit menu. I use that so much that I need to look into assigning it a keyboard command. Pastes the text with no tags or formatting -- just plain text.

Yep. notepad is the best way around it, it justs strips it all out. I've tried all the DW tools for cleaning the import - just does not cut it!
