Try this, it removes the formatting for me:

on key label ctrl+c ExecScript("keyb '{ctrl+c}' plain"+Chr(13)+"doevents"+Chr(13)+"doevents"+Chr(13)+"_cliptext = _cliptext")

Note that if you try to copy non-text, like a control, and paste it into the designer, it will fail with the above code. It may be better to use something besides ctrl+c for the OKL.
