How about fixing the apps instead ? To a non-techical user, this 'paste
special' looks quite hostile. If one copies from a browser and pastes into a
text-related app, one generally expects the pasted text to have as much of
the original formatting retained as the app allows (plain text if its a text
editor, formatted and colored text if it's a word processor).
