Why is my paste of web content into Word underlined?

•

Copy

Let's start with an article on my web site and select a portion of it to copy:

Here, I've selected the summary line through the text at the bottom of this screen capture.
Ctrl+C copies that to the clipboard.

Paste

In Microsoft Word, I type Ctrl+V to paste what I just copied into a new empty document.

And sure enough, some of the text appears underlined.
Except ... those aren't underlines.

Revision Marks

Those are revision marks.
The clue that makes me think that revision marks are the problem is that the underlining is continuous and there's a revision mark bar down the left-hand side.
Now, here's the problem that I see:

• I didn't have revision marks enabled.
• Even if I had, I'd expect that all of the text would be treated the same way.

Revision marks, when enabled, are intended to indicate what text has changed in an existing document. Changed words are typically colored differently and underlined and the revision mark bar is placed along the outer edge of the page at the position which the changes occurred.
As I said, when enabled - which they are not.

Revision marks begone!

The best way to remove revisions is to tell Word to "accept" all of the revisions.

Click the Review tab in the Word ribbon, then click the Accept button, and finally choose Accept all Changes in Document.

The unexpected underlining is gone.
