Next time, try this:
Within Microsoft Word:
- Open the Home ribbon (ALT-H)
- Activate the "Paste" command (V)
- Within the drop-down list, activate "Paste Special"
This opens a dialog with a list box of options. Within the list box, select "Unformatted Text" and press ENTER.
All web formatting is removed from the text as it's pasted into Microsoft Word. You get a nice clean paste.

Hi all,
Using Windows 10, and Jaws 18, and internet explorer 11, on a desktop.
I just googled for a list of the baseball free agent players, and found a great article on USA Today!
So, I grab the article from the web site, so I can read it, at my leasure.
So, I throw it into my word processor, wordpad, and folks, I kid you not, there was so much crap in that article that I didn't need, like >html><<html>andborder=html>html>.
It took me 2 hours to delete all this crap from the article, and I'm still not done yet.
1 line at a time.
Is anyone else as frustrated as I am about this? Or, am I alone in my frustration?
These people obviously think that my time is not valuable to me. Well, it is very valuable to me.
I know there are people who cannot stand Apple products, and I don't use them either, because of what happened to me, with voiceover gong bananas, and having problems, which I had to call Apple about, twice, when I tried it in 2014.
However, there is 1 thing I can say about Apple, and nobody has duplicated this. That is, at least in Safari, they have the wonderful thing called Reader, which takes all the junk out of articles, and just reads you the article. Now I don't know what it's like if you put the same article in a word processor, from reader, but at least they got that going for them!
Now, it's back to my work, because I'm still not done stripping crap out of this article!
Harry
