In addition to the suggestions from others, you could try PureText by 
Steve Miller:

"PureText is basically equivalent to opening Notepad, doing a PASTE, 
followed by a SELECT-ALL, and then a COPY.  The benefit of PureText is 
performing all these actions with a single Hot-Key and having the result 
pasted into the current window automatically."

The default hot-key combination is the Windows key + V, which works well 
for me, as the CTRL key is right next to the Windows key. Changing from 
a regular Paste to an unformatted Paste is as easy as moving my little 
finger one key over. I find this more flexible than making the permanent 
change in FM's ini file, and it also works when bringing content into MS 
Word, which otherwise annoyingly adopts whatever HTML tag comes along 
with material copied from the web.

HTH,
