Well, yes, you should tell them that. But just as you copy-paste into Notepad, you copy paste into LJ's HTML editor.

I can't help thinking we're misunderstanding each other here.

I don't see why it would add code if you copy&paste Word text into LJ's HTML editor(not Rich Text, not another HTML editor). Pasting there is like pasting into Notepad.

Did I claim something else? *frets* Maybe my explaining abilities really suck. *has a crisis*
