By default, every time you copy and paste content from other sources to Word, a small Paste Options box will appear. If you never use this feature, you can disable this paste options button to keep it from distracting you.
When something is pasted into Word 2010 or 2011, a paste option button appears that gives you easy access to common formatting options regarding the newly pasted text.
Here is an example of the Paste Options which appears when the content is pasted:
