kwrite question

[Brian Cluff]

If you are pasting into a libreoffice document you can simply select 
Edit -> Paste Special and then select "Unformatted Text", and that with 
paste your selected text while getting rid off all that annoying 
formatting.  Most other word processors have a similar function in a 
similar place such as Calligra Word's Edit -> Paste as Text

Of course that doesn't answer the original question as to why kwrite 
would change fonts... Isn't it just a text editor?
