LabRat, have you tried "Paste Special"? You click the Edit menu, then the Paste Special option. A dialog box will pop up with some choices, and you'll want to click "Unformatted text" and then the OK button. That might do the trick.

For a keyboard shortcut, use CTRL-SHIFT-V instead of CTRL-V to paste. This shortcut works in other programs as well to paste in text stripped of formatting.
