Copying Drop Down Menus

Hi,

I'm new here.

I have a template that I use daily. It is formatted (bold/italic/sizes/bullets), and has both fill in text fields and drop down menus.

Once I finish filling out the template, I copy the entire thing from Word and paste it into another program.

I've noticed, though, that the drop down choices are actually bringing over the full menu and not just the text that has been selected. Because of this the text that I'm pasting is very large in terms of data (since the drop downs have alot of options in them).

Pasting as "text only" won't work because all of my formatting throughout will be lost.

Is there a way to collect only the text from my drop down choice, as opposed to the entire thing?

Thanks!
