Strip out return and new line characters when copying and pasting into regular text fields

When we copy and paste text into a regular text field in Vista (not a note field), Vista is retaining any extra characters which can cause havoc on reports and most especially, EFTs.  When a user pasted an employee's banking info onto the vendor form, the exported txt files would not import into our bank and I literally had to go through each txt file to see what was going on.  The text field and data looks normal, but when you paste it into notepad, you'll see the issue.


It would really help avoid a lot of issues if Vista can just paste the text into text fields and not all the characters.
