Pick 'Service' from the suggested templates It won't work for copying in apps that don't support Services (Office, cough), but for copying stuff from Safari etc. You can create a simple 'service' using Automator, which you can then use to copy items with.

I was just hoping that there was some simple key sequence to only copy text and not the formatting. I normally just finish typing, open the font window and set everything back to normal. so if you are composing an email that is copied from different sources (I often copy segments from spreadsheets, other emails, or websites) it changes the format of the email from that point on, where I just want the text. But why does it change from Helvetica Normal to Tahoma Bold during a normal copy and paste? If they have a different command for Paste and Match format, you would assume the normal paste means, paste just the text. BUT, numbers has a different paste called "Paste & Match Style" which does bring it across as Arial 10 Bold. I copy (CMD-C) and paste (CMD-P) from OO to Numbers and it comes out as Tahoma 10 Bold. I then opened Numbers and the entire page is set to Helvetica 10 Normal. I just opened Open Office Spreadsheet that has text that is in Arial 10 Bold. Thanks, I guess this is specific from one app to another.
