It is amazing the keyboard combos you will run into when your fingers stumble over the keyboard trying to do something you didn’t even have in mind. Much like me, I doubt you knew either that Windows Live Writer had a "special" paste mode?
To activate it, just press Ctrl+Shift+V. Doing so will give you the option to remove all the HTML formatting but preserve the hyperlinks and images. They also have a thinned HTML option which will preserve the font sizes and text alignments but strips out all the extra CSS beyond that point. Quick tip for all you fellow Windows Live Writer lovers out there!
