notepad does not recognize web based copying.  what happens when you copy directly into word?

<div>
Yes indeed I have used notepad as a workaround up to now but would really like to find out if there is a setting that can be altered or some permanent fix for it rather than having to go via notepad. This time it was copying from a web page but it has also happened with copying an image as well, I can't remember other previous times.

I copy and paste text into word or into an email which uses Word in Outlook and instead of getting the text I copied I get this strange symbol. <br />

Strange symbol replaces pasted text in Word

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
