Stobot, Opps, I assumed your copy and paste was coming from websites etc.. in the browser. I am a big user of Office but I not longer get much of my incoming data from office documents, So I have not played with this too much. I will look into it and post any leanings.
Perhaps http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com/#FindReplace would help. I have a lot of office and office 365 cloud experience and keen to resolve this for future clients as well. Here are some possible tips - Copy and past content as plain text then use Editor tool bars to add back bullets and formatting - .http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com has quite a few editor tool bar enhancements - Paste into an advanced text editor and manipulate before pasting into TiddlyWIki eg; notepad ++ - Save/Export an office document as html and copy from there (but tricky at moment) Sadly recent changes to FireFox have made a number of my preferred addons go the way of the Dodo, so I need to revisit this subject.
