That is annoying to the user if you want to copy from an email fx a song text 
with the accords and everything gets screwed up. It s as well annoying if you 
try to make a table like this with copy and paste:

Place                  Date                     With
Home                  17.01.2000            someotherword
Home                  19.01.2000            someotherword

things like this cannot be done with Kword. And I think that thats a pity.
