This is a default behavior in FrameMaker, and one that many users detest. Fortunately, the programmers made it a behavior that can be customized.
Open the Maker.ini file in your FrameMaker directory. Search for the string ClipboardFormatsPriorities The list of formats behind this property dictate the preference of pasting a clipboard item. Change the property to read as follows: ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT, FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP, MIF, RTF This will make your past from the clipboard use plain text first, then default to the other formats in the order listed. This will enable you to paste plain ASCII text directly from a copy paste operation.
