How to copy plain text from web pages in Safari? When using Safari, I find no plug-in to force copied text from web pages to not include rich-text formatting and only copy the raw ascii characters.

How can I, using Safari, only copy plain text into the clipboard from web pages?

If that is not possible, is there a way in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 to only paste plain text?
Whilst copying from Safari as plain text is not possible as far as I know, the OS X system shortcut for pasting as plain text is ⇧⌥⌘V.

For Microsoft Word, go to Edit → Paste Special → Unformatted Text or Edit → Paste and Match Formatting.
