I agree with Buzz Anderson: “Paste-with-styling is one of the worst software inventions of all time.” Every time I mention the workaround shown below, there are many retweets and favorites.

@chockenberry I know you're not my personal tech support, but I figured asking doesn't hurt. Your trick is working great. Except in screenshots. When I take a screenshot using Shift-Cmd-4, and then click the thumbnail that appears before it saves it to disk, I can no longer copy&paste markup items (like arrows&squares). It just beeps on paste. But that's a built-in O/S thing, it's not an app, so I don't know how to add an exception for it (it doesn't have its own Edit menu to override). Ideas?
