Tom, I use the Paste Special Unformatted Text frequently when I am copying and pasting information from the web. It pastes only the text and not the graphics, hyperlinks and all of the formatting. The only time I use it when I am working on copying information from other documents is when I plan to do my own formatting once I've gathered all of the information into my document. So if you are taking information from a webpage, then you most likely do not want the formatting as they have it on the webpage. The use of headings on a webpage serves a different purpose then in a document in many cases.

I'm a bit reluctant to try it here, since I don't want to risk eliminating any formatting of the many work-related documents I work with regularly. Not trying to be argumentative; just trying to learn.

The interesting thing is that I took the text from the web page I was working with, pasted it into a notepad file, and then into a word file, and the various heading and paragraph markers re-appeared. They did not appear in the original notepad file.

I have encountered a very strange problem when working with the text from e-mails that have been saved as Microsoft Word files. It seems that whenever I work with or create the files, paragraph and heading markers are read within the file. I can turn this off by going into the Jaws Quick settings menu, but as soon as I resume the editing again, paragraph and heading markers re-appear and are read in the newly-edited document. Interestingly, they are also now read in any other MS Word document I open later on. Does anyone know how I can turn the reading of paragraph and heading markers off for good! I'm using Office 2010, and Jaws version 16.0.3048 on this Windows 7 work laptop.
