Hi Marion,
I don't want to overcomplicate the situation, but there is a simpler solutions than what Niall suggested (which essentially does the same thing but with only a few mouseclicks).
PureText (http://stevemiller.net/puretext/) will convert anything in the clipboard (when you copy something it goes to the clipboard) to plain text removing any formatting.
For example, if you copy something to the clipboard by highlighting it, going to the Edit menu and clicking Copy and then you go to the PureText application which is in your System Tray (down on the bottom right next to the clock) and click the icon. It will then convert what's in the clipboard (the bit you copied at the beginning) to plain text.
As I said, this might be overly complicating things for you (I don't know how experienced you are with PC's so I apologise if I'm teaching you to suck eggs here) but once you get the hand of the program it saves time. I actually use it all the time!
Kind regards,
