Sorry, but I have no idea what might be wrong here. It should not take 2 
minutes to start LibO, even if it comes from a USB key. Maybe you can 
investigate more at the portableApps website? I think I've heard, that they 
have a forum, where you can ask questions.

How do you copy the text? With CTRL+C and CTRL+V? Or Shift+Delete and 
Shift+Insert? Those commands insert the copied text with its original 
formatting. Try "paste special" instead.  You can find this in the "insert" 
menu, where it is called "paste special". Or you can try the key combination 
CTRL+Shift+V. In the then appearing dialog box select "Text only".

I hope, this helps.
