Most Microsoft software applications allow you to strip the formatting when pasting. For example, in Microsoft Office in Menu>>Edit there is an option to paste special. Or this can be accomplished with the keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+V.
Another possible way in Windows is to paste the content into Notepad first. This will strip the formatting.
Not sure if this is the use you are trying to look for, what type of program are you trying to copy to/from?

Use notepad as a middleman (copy to it, then copy from it).
I would paste it into a notepad file and copy it again. Then paste it into your target doc. Notepad should remove any formatting.
An AutoHotKey script could do this for you. Are you familiar with AutoHotKey? Let me know if you'd like me to write something like that for you for M$4.

I would like a solution that solves this for copy/pasting from/to all applications. I don't think I have ever once wanted to copy the format of text when copy/pasting.
