If you just do a plain copy/paste, any Styles applied to the copied range will be pasted to the destination document. However, since the code I posted eliminates all Style information (except for keeping the basic Normal Style), that shouldn't be an issue. In any event, using the 'keep text only' paste option will not transfer any Style information.

For the copying, all you need do is insert:
.Copy
after:
.HighlightColorIndex = wdNoHighlight

For the pasting, all you need do is insert:
ActiveDocument.Range.Paste
after:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
