That is a good method. I use Notepad as an intermediate stop for every copy-paste, as for example Excel tends to put quirky invisible characters into fields that I don't want in a database.
Many applications have a "paste just the text" function (sometimes behind an operation called "paste special" that allows other less-usual ways of pasting too). This may or may not actually be easier or better than going via a text editor.
