Copy - Paste Blues

Another collegue of mine alerted me to another interesting quirk concerning the windows clipboard: the way text is copied into it, is dependant on the current language setting.

Let me explain:
If you ever tried copy-pasting greek text into Microsoft Word and came out as gibberish, there is a solution. Just switch to greek (usually left alt+ left shift) and try copy-pasting again. Greek will appear correctly this time...
