That I can think of off the top of my head: non-breaking hyphens turn into regular spaces and line breaks turn into regular returns.

While this does work for the non-breaking space problem, it isn't quite what I need, but it seems like it might be my best option if there isn't a Paste Special Unformatted Text option. As with the body of the document, our goal is to strip as much out as possible before we go in and basically recreate the formatting and look of the document with our own styles and numbering.

But, either way, thank you again for you help, I've learned a good bit in trying to figure this out!
