I have the same problem copying from web pages. You may want to use wordpad.

Subject: Can default setting be changed?

Hello.   I'm using apache open office. It's a good and usefull product.
        I need to see if I can get your assitance with a 
challenge I'm having with it.
As I've been using a dated ( but still working) version of microsoft 
word, I've gotten used to being able to copy/paste text from web pages ( 
bypassing images) and I end up-what I see is what I get.
   When I attempt to do this with open office,  I end up getting a 
version that shows the pasted product in "Cell" form rather than just 
text.   I end up deleting rows, unwanted headers,etc.  A wearysome job.
    Can I change what seems to be a default behavior so when I copy 
paste it just gives the text without the behind the scenes cell view???
Thanks for the assist.
Bruce Smith.
