copy-paste

Is it possible to copy text from a Word document containing field codes, so that when asted into another application, the FIELD CODES REMAIN AS RAW TEXT. i.e. something like

This is about whales { XE "Cetations:Whales" }. This is about dolphins { XE "Cetations:Dolphins" }.

rather than have the field codes stripped out?
