When I had to start using MS for work, among the first things I did was turn off all clipboard formatting capture in office apps. I can count on 2 hands the number of times in my life I've wanted the destination formatting to match the source - plus office sucks at it and half the apps don't respect ctrl+shift+v either.
I still probably won't use this (on purpose), but it sounds a bit better.
Office apps aren’t really designed for the things people use them for. You shouldn’t write a book using Word, nor should you do complicated calculations in Excel. Regardless, those things actually happen in real life, and the people involved in these atrocities suffer because of it.
