When I copy and paste from a website that formats their text using <*li>, I get numbers or #'s when I paste into any text editor on my Mac (running Snow Leopard). Is there anything I can get that is equivalent to Windows Notepad, that will NOT copy the formatting, and just give me the text? Example of a site that I copy/paste from that gives me #'s or numbers:

A:
Use Paste As Plain Text in Word or Open Office or use a pure text editor like SciTE.

Tried the "past as plain text" in Word for Mac, still get the formatting. I think it's a Firefox issue?

Try a text editor like SciTE before jumping to conclusions.

Yep, tried that, it still pastes the characters. I found that Safari doesn't... so it IS a FireFox issue where it grabs the characters on the "copy".

A:
Most Cocoa applications that have a text editing interface have a Paste and Match Style option in the Edit menu. This will paste the text without pasting formatting.
