I have no choice as I need to copy both text and headings from M$ Word
docs into HTML pages.  'Save selection as text' is fiddly and prone to
mistakes when done repeatedly.  Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V is quick and easy and
works with every other app I use.

Why do EW/TW have to be different?  Can they be reconfigured?

Chris.
