Well, my recall is accurate. I just opened a PDF document, highlighted
the text I wanted to copy, hit <edit>, <copy>, minimized Acrobat and
opened Word and did a CTRL-V. It showed up in Word. If you want to
ditch the PDF formatting, go into Word and hit <edit>, <paste
special>, <unformatted text>.

Worked for me.
