Bernard;

I routinely use Edit->Paste special. A dialog opens and I select "Plain
text". I do not know if it is going to solve this particular problem.

It is a matter of choosing whether it is more ergonomic to go via this
dialog, or to spend time removing the unwanted extra stuff from the BB
text.

I bet one can dig into BB sources to find out how the "plain text" option
works, and then implement a shortcut to automate this feature. I have no
plans of doing it myself. I just keep using the dialog.

Hope it helps,

Wojtek
