 * Is there a plugin (or switch I can flip in WordPress) so that when I copy and
   paste text, it doesn’t carry legacy Word or HTML junk?
 * So I can have clean code, I like pasting plain ascii/unicode. Right now, I have
   to copy it to a third window, say Notepad, to pull this off.

 * You can do this through the visual editor by turning on the [Kitchen Sink](http://www.arcanepalette.com/tag/tinymce/)
   and use the “Paste from Word” button.

 * Thanks! That works pretty well. Is there any way to flip a switch so that everything
   I plug into WordPress goes in as plain text?

 * Daniel, Unfortunately, I do not think that there is, without some hackery at 
   least 🙂

 * OK, well, thank you very much! This, at least, will be more direct 🙂
