2008 Word = Frustrating

No question, more of a comment...

Before, I could write an article in Word and easily paste it into Dreamweaver.

Now, I hit copy in Word, Paste in Dreamweaver and what happens? Nothing... I have to paste it into Mail first... Not TextEdit, that puts random carriage returns in...

THEN I can copy into Dreamweaver - but guess what... no paragraphs...! So time is wasted locating ends of paragraphs and hitting return!

If I were you, don't upgrade... Any time saved by running natively is totally eradicated by slowdown in productivity post-upgrade...!

Agreed that the inability to paste to Dreamweaver is deeply frustrating.
See the discussion here, it might help you find a better workaround--I
mean, you can get text with no paragraphs via Edit | Paste Special in
DW, so Mail isn't doing anything for you.
