I am a news hound and "collect" news stories and culinary-related news
items. Usually, when I copy an article and paste it into Word 2000 (I am
using Windows XP Home), I get a tiny "clipboard" icon (at the bottom of the
document) which gives me the option to "Keep Text Only."

But sometimes, the "icon" doesn't show up, and I am then at a loss on how to
"Keep Text Only."

Why does the icon sometimes NOT show up, and is there a way to either
"force" the icon to show, or to "Save Text Only" without the icon?

Thanks in advance.
