Stop importation of styles

In Word 2000, is there a way to prevent styles from being imported into a document (target document) when doing a cut and paste of text from another document (source document). The target document ultimately will be converted to html/xml, and foreign styles cause difficulties in processing. Is there a way to lock the style in the target document (which is a template for use by multiple people, so cumbersome solutions probably won't work).

Thanks.

Used edit paste special and paste as unformatted text - or if you have a
lot of these, use the following macro

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo Oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
Oops:
Beep
End Sub
