            Bug ID: 95910
           Summary: FORMATTING: styles from pasted text are hidden and
                    cannot be removed

Sample document with 'hidden' bold text

When pasting text into a document that contains a style (e.g., bold or italic),
that style is permanently associated with the text and cannot be removed.  If
you (e.g.) unbold the text, it still retains the 'StrongEmphasis' style in the
XML file, even though the text appears normal.  Clear Direct Formatting on the
text reverts it to being bold (not plain), and that bold cannot be removed,
only 'hidden'.

In the event that the text is copied and pasted to another application that
supports the underlying styles (typically online WYSIWYG editors), the text
appears with the 'hidden' style, rather than being plain text.  This is
especially problematic when the hidden style ends up being applied to large
blocks of text because it could not be seen.

The attached document appears to have all text as being plain.  However, Clear
Direct Formatting will reveal a portion in bold that CANNOT be removed.  I have
also seen this happen with italics; I do not know if any other styles are
affected.
