It's probably the specific program that you're copying or cutting from
that has this differing functionality.

I tried cutting and pasting from a web page (go to
http://www.google.com, and click on a blank spot first) to a Word
document, and it worked identically both ways for me.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
