Thanks mate,

Word wasn't my main concern, but I've selected that option now, IMO text only should be the default, but... I'd completely forgotten the purpose of the 'thingy' that pops up after a paste - never occurred to me to click on it to see if it solved this issue.

The blogger issue gets curiouser and curiouser -

I restarted Firefox in Safe Mode to try to sort out this Shift/Control/V issue, it didn't do anything when I used it in a blogger comment area with an epub-viewer fragment I had the clipboard

So I pasted the fragment into blogger with Ctrl/V - begorrah, bygum... it pasted plain text!!

Which made me think, must be an a Firefox add-in issue.

So I restarted Firefox, in normal mode - guess what, yes a paste into a blogger comment was plain text !!

So what changed between yesterday and today.

3 extensions were updated - Flashgot, Tabmix and Anonymox (that's disabled)
I plug-in was updated - Google Update Plugin

It could also be a bug in firefox - it still 'leaks' like a sieve*, I'll test again after I've given the browser a bashing at the end of the day.

* memory leaks - so called 'memory leaks' are the result of not freeing up allocated memory when its no longer needed, 'memory loss' would be better. The original memory leaks occurred on mercury delay line memory, Turing suggested that the use of Gin rather than mercury. You could observe mercury delay line memory bits flipping - it was an acoustic device. Sound travels fast in mercury, no idea how fast it is in Gin, but it would be faster than air, which quite slow
