Text in Microsoft Word contains invisible formatting characters that are not valid in our editor. These formatting characters will be copied. This may have undesirable effects on the formatting of the text. To avoid this, you can copy the text into Notepad first, and then you will know for sure that the underlying encoding is gone.
