I use a program called Plain Clip and assign a keystroke combination in Butler to execute the paste. Plain Clip strips all the formatting.

Don't know about Word but many applications have an Edit - Paste And Match Style function which strips styling from the clipboard's contents during paste. Or has already been suggested, copy into BBedit (or TextWrangler), then copy from BBedit back into Word. Oooh! I know! Open Terminal.app. Type cat file.txt. Paste. Type ^C (control-C).

The obvious answer on this list is: open the file with BBEdit and use its abilities to strip markup. You could also simply call Save As... in Word, and choose the format Plain Text.

There have been plenty of good suggestions made already, but I'll add one specific to BBEdit: 1. Download and install this to BBEdit's Text Filters folder: https://github.com/tjluoma/bbedit/blob/master/Text-Filters/HTML-to-Plain-Text.sh 2. Install lynx (if it isn't already) http://code.google.com/p/rudix/wiki/lynx And then you can use BBEdit's Text Filter feature to convert any HTML document to plain text. The advantage of using `lynx` instead of trying to create your own solution is that it has been designed to deal with all sorts of 'edge cases' of weird and/or badly written HTML.

Soft Wrap and search replace project file
Hello,
I work with very large log files and I would like to work on their
formatting a bit. I open up the a folder and then there are several other
folders inside of it. So I drag the main folder to the BBEdit icon and
open it up as a project. The main files I'm interested in are xyz.log,
then xyz.log.1, xyz.log.2 (and so on to 48), but there are a few other
files that I have to look at as well all in various folders in the project.
I have the language set to automatically apply as XML to xyz.log. I
couldn't get it to apply to xyz.log.1 .2 etc with a wildcard, so I just had
to add .log.1 .log.2 etc for the language preferences. No big deal.
However, it only seems to Soft Wrap xyz.log and when I do a multi file
search, if I hit something on xyz.log.1 it does not soft wrap; and my
engineers decided that text that spans 1000 characters long before wrapping
is somehow a good idea.
Beyond this, I'm trying to automate a search and replace for a simple
string but I guess I can't get the escape characters correct.
I have to deal with a lot of tags like
blahvalue/blahblah2value2/blah2blah3value3/blah3
I found that an amazing simple search and replace where I replace with
\r results in
blahvalue/blah
blah2value2/blah2
blah3value3/blah3
It's amazing, and with the amount of data I have to read, a replace like
this (and a soft wrap) makes so much difference in the amount of time it
takes to go through these files.
I just can't get these either automated or mapped to a button (like to
execute an apple script) that applies to all files in a project.
If I can just figure out what's wrong with the preferences to allow the xml
formatting with the softwrap to actually apply to all files in the project,
that'd be awesome. Otherwise, can I programmatically do this?
I found a softwap that seems to work in AppleScript
*{{{*
*tell* *application* BBEdit
* set* project *to* *project document* 1
* tell* project
* if* *not* (soft wrap text) *then*
* set* soft wrap text *to* true
* set* soft wrap mode *to* window width
* set* show page guide *to* false
* else*
* set* soft wrap text *to* false
* end* *if*
* end* *tell*
*end* *tell*
}}}
But this does not apply to all items in a project.
So is there any way to either fix my preferences to do the softwrap for the
project or create an applescript that will both soft wrap to the window
width as well as search and replace with \r automatically or where I
can at least bind it to a key?
Thanks

I can think of a few things that might help:
1. Set BBEdit's default to soft-wrap
2. Set a hot key for your soft-wrap preference
But having a number after your log files' extension is problematic.

The following applescript will do both, you can assign it a hot-key. There's
probably a way to replace in the frontmost project, but I'm not certain how to
do that.
tell application BBEdit
tell window 1 to set soft wrap text to true
replace using \\n searching in text of front window options
{search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false,
case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}
end tell
