My recommended solution is to use the paste special feature in Word, then
copy the results to where you need it next, e.g. to the body of an email.
One of the paste-special options is to paste only the text. This eliminates
a whole host of junk, everything you are experiencing, as well as differing
fonts, format commands, etc. In short, this gives you the cleanest possible
result.
The steps:
1. Copy the material to the clipboard in the usual fashion.
2. Bring up Word.
3. Press the applications key or shift plus f10. In that list, arrow to
"paste options", but do not press the enter key yet Instead, use the left
and right arrows to find the "text only" option, then press enter.
3. After a few seconds, the results will be pasted into your Word document.
From there, you can copy and paste in the usual way; no need to repeat the
paste options steps above.
This text-only feature can solve a myriad of JAWS navigation problems, so if
you are having problems navigating a given bit of material, perform the
above steps and paste the results into a separate Word document, or if you
do not need to retain the original version, do a cut and paste into that
original document.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] using wordpad
sometimes I use Wordpad to temporarily copy text from the clipboard, but
when I paste the text into Wordpad, I either get some gibberish or html tags
mixed in with the actual text I copied from a website, for example. is there
a way to not get html tags mixed in with the text, and what settings do I
need to change?
