Can we *PLEASE* get the Importance of this escalated?  The first report of this
was 2006, and there are many, closed, duplicate instances of this! 

To recap: Something that I have to do every day, is select text from a numbered
list in Writer, copy it to the clipboard, and paste it into a variety of other
applications.

For whatever reason, when copying the text in Writer, even though I haven't
selected the number in the numbered list, it still copies the number from the
list, along with the text I've selected, instead of just the selected text?!

In later versions of MS Word that did this, they had an option to turn this off
called "Keep Text Only".

I've been all over the Writer application and can't figure out how to shut this
off in Writer, and it's infuriating (why is this default functionality!?).
Right now I am pasting the text including the extra numbers, into notepad, then
re-copying only what I needed, then pasting it into the third app.

I have searched around here and the only similar things I've found recommend
people to use "Paste Special". However, I'm not pasting INTO Writer and the
other applications don't have this option. What I need I guess is a "Copy
Special"?!
