Yes, I only mentioned Word to prove that it had formatted text in it, and I was not copying something from Notepad.
I do the Notepad trick a lot when pasting to Word or any other program that would respect the formatting, and I do not want that, at that time., I paste into Notepad and then copy that and paste into Word or whatever, and keep the formatting of the document.
Just discovered that if I paste into Access, THEN paste into Word, I also lose the formatting.?
It's as if the Paste (no copy involved) literally does a copy again?
Not to worry, at the moment it works the way i would likely want it to.
