I have this issue when dealing with libreoffice, as importing data for 
reports from various places including the web bring formatting that 
screws everything up. Usually I'll end up dropping copied formatted text 
into gedit/pluma, normalizing it as plain text there, and cutting it 
back out into libreoffice in whatever native format it's in upon paste.

Special paste works when available, but not always so, so this is old 
habit to use this dating back to windoze in the 90's doing so with 
notepad to get unformatted data into office.
