Copy and Paste is one of the simplest thing you can do in a computer. CTR+C or select the area, right click, copy and CTR+V or right click and paste. I wish I could have done it in real life as I can keep a copy of the things I love with me. Why note pad come in between copy and paste?
One of the thin I have notice is if you are directly copy and paste something from a rich text, HTML content it will copy lot of other stuff that you do not want. For example, text decorations, font type, background colour, html tags, hyper links and there can be so many other stuff that you do not want. If you paste directly to a place that support rich text or html it will bring all these with it. If it is your email pasted part will look different to your original email content. If it is your blog copy and pasted part will have different font type, colour to you blog theme.
Notepad is the simplest solution to this. Notepad is not supporting rich text or HTML content. So it will drop all these background information that you copied and paste only the text. Then Copy the text again from the notepad and paste it on the place you want the content to be. In that way you will not copy any background information to your new location.
So next time when you do a copy and paste from rich text or HTML remember this simple hack to use the notepad in between to copy and paste only the text not the other information.
