How to convert weird text to usable text

One question I have had for several years is how to get a block of text,
from a Web site for example, into a Word document without all the baggage
that comes with it?

All I want is the text, not all the cute little icons, links to other sites,
odd formatting, etc. etc. (you know how some web sites are...)

Anyway, my method is to copy to the clipboard, open up "NOTEPAD" and paste
the text which does a pretty good job of "cleaning" all the crap out, then
copy to clipboard again, and paste it into Word.

Is there an easier way to do this or is this the best way?
 
That seems to work okay. I am used that in Excel quite a bit, but never
thought to use it in Word. Thanks.
