When you copy text from any source,
programs will usually copy any formatting that comes with it. To paste
this as plain text, press CTRL + Shift + V instead of the standard CTRL +
V, and the system will paste unformatted text. Note that many programs
follow this rule (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) but not all, particularly
Microsoft programs like Word or Outlook. For those there's a couple
alternatives: A) CTRL + ALT + V will show a 'paste special' dialog box.
B) CTRL + Spacebar will remove formatting in already pasted text.

[I wonder if this will work when copying and pasting from Google Drive to Yahoo Groups? I'll try it next time. Right now, I'm copying and pasting from Google Drive to EditPad, then from EditPad to Yahoo Groups, since Yahoo Groups doesn't translate the Google Drive formatting well.]
