I can't promise that Vista has all the functions discussed in this thread, but in the years that I've used it, I've seen Tom add a lot of new variations. I suggest that curious cats spend a few minutes exploring the 'Paste Functions' enumerated under the Edit menu. Several of those were provided to handle unusual situations that are not strictly 'editing' but rather a means of transferring data displayed by one App into another possible unrelated App. These functions are possible because 'copy' takes some part of a delineated display, strips out all formatting indicators, and (re)builds a 'paste' buffer according to the requirements of the function being invoked. If it doesn't work as desired, Tom is famous for implementing new function.

Here's an example of a block copy in Vista. What's a linear copy? You mean, without regard to line endings? No, I don't think so. You could certainly use your favorite stream-oriented editor to remove the line endings.
