Coying and paste from webpage without webpage's format?

Fro the Font change: When you paste, you should see a paste tag at the lower
right of what you paste. (It is an icon that looks like a clipboard with a
piece of paper next to it.) Click that icon and a list of options will
appear. From that list, you can select the radio button for "Match
Destination Formatting". Once you have done this, you can click the icon
again and click the bottom item on the list "Set as Default Paste". From now
on, everything you paste will look like the rest of your page instead of how
it does on the page it came from.

For the pasted from note, you can turn that off globally by going to
Tools--> Options--> Editing, and unchecking the box for "Include link to
source when pasting from the Internet or from Microsoft Office programs"

That little link, by the way, is called an annotation. I find it most
useful. It helps me remember where I got the information from (and when). By
knowing hits information, I can attribute quotes to the correct source if I
use them later.

If I selected some text on a webpage, copy it, and then paste it into a
OneNote page, it appears in a different font size than the text I've
selected for my OneNote page (it shows up in 11, while I'm working in 14),
and also adds an annoying line that says "Pasted from..." and then shows the
URL. Is there any way to 1) have the copy pasted into the same format I'm
using for the ON page, and 2) turn this "Pasted from" feature off?

Thank you SO much.

T. Wise shared these words of wisdom:

"Pasted from..." and then shows the URL.

Tastes are different, but as Cathy already said: IMO this is a most
useful and really important feature!!
I wish something like that would be availble in other programs.

It's of real help to always show where the information has come from.
And it saves a lot of time which would be needed by copy+paste for the
URL iotherwise.

Although one switcg it off, don't do that.
