When I copy contents from a browser, and try to paste it into Word or a similar recipient, it tries to bring in all the HTML tags (links, inputs, buttons, etc).

Is there a convenient way of pasting only contents, equivalent to pasting "values" - but in this case it would paste text and pictures only without the links and the rest of the garbage?

Getting the text only is usually pretty easy into Word. Simply paste with the shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-V (or click paste special).

I don't know of any way to get the images in addition to the text without getting all the rest of the formatting.

To get the unformatted text, you could also paste into a plain-text editor like Notepad, then copy it from there. (I usually use the Run dialog for single lines of text.) – Synetech Sep 8 '11 at 3:46
Yes, I know for the text part. I guess my true question is how to do for pictures. – Wadih M. Sep 8 '11 at 18:28
