Clipboard Text Scrubber
It's a daily problem which we encounter while copying some text from a web page or a Word document.  What we get from the clipboard is not what we want!  Clipboard Text Scrubber can be a useful utility to Copy-Paste the Text Minus without carrying the excess baggage like the formatting (font sizes, colors and images). It automatically strips the text of all formatting as soon as you copy it to the clipboard. Everything that gets to clipboard after you hit Ctrl+C is converted to plain text. The 295 KB Clipboard Text Scrubber v1.3.1 (August 15, 2007) can be downloaded at http://www.binaryfortress.com/Files/ClipboardTextScrubber/Clipboard_Text_Scrubber_v1.3.1_x86.exe . Clipboard Text Scrubber requires the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0. Make sure you get the right version for your system.
