The word “this” will not be italicized, because Notepad doesn’t support rich text. Highlight this sentence, copy it, switch to Notepad, and paste it. The result will be different. That’s the theory behind the clipboard and copy/paste: it’s a shortcut to make life easier by saving us keystrokes. The result will be the exactly the same as if you had carefully typed it in by hand. Highlight this sentence, copy it, switch to Notepad, and paste it. In general, pasting text into a document should be no different than typing it in. Exceptions might include formatting and other meta-data not supported by the pasted-into application, or intentional errors introduced in an original specifically to confirm that information was typed and not copied. In theory copy/pasting should be indistinguishable from hand-typing text.
