I'm trying to configure Word 2010 so that pasted text keeps only the text, not any formatting. To that end I've navigated to File\Options\Advanced and the Cut, copy, and paste section and changed the the following options:

Pasting within the same document: Keep Text Only

Pasting between documents: Keep Text Only

Pasting between documents when style definitions conflict: Keep Text Only

Pasting from other programs: Keep Text Only

As far as I can tell from these options this should ensure that no matter where I'm copying from, I should only, ever get the source text and never any formatting pasted into Word. This, however, is not the case. When I past from my browser, for example, I get different fonts, font sizes, font weight (bold) and even hyperlinks coming in. For the life of me I cannot figure out why this setting is not working. When I exit Word and open it again the settings are still there so everything I can see indicates that they are stored properly however Word seems to ignore these settings.

On a related note, I've set the same options for my Outlook email editor (in File\Options\Mail\Editor Options...\Advanced\Cut, copy, and paste) and I experience the same problem as I do in Word with source formatting showing up in my emails even though I've set it to keep only the text.

I'm running the 32 bit version of Office 2010 version 14.0.6023.1000 on 64 bit Windows 7 Professional SP1. Can anyone suggest a solution?
