Problem

I regularly copy and paste text between spreadsheets, emails, browser windows, etc. I can't think of a single time when I've wanted to keep the formatting from the source text. I already know about the following workarounds: Use “Edit” → “Paste Special” → “Unformatted text” Paste to Notepad and copy from there Install a program that takes over the clipboard What I want is to tell Windows to just do this by default. Is this possible?
