It is "normal" for Windows Copy/Paste to add spaces at one or both ends of text that you paste. The extra space(s) are usually part of what the password parser sees as the password, so a pasted password is likely to be rejected.

If you copy from a bulleted list in Word, you shouldn't be able to "select" the bullet(s), but "bulleted" is a format that's recorded in the paragraph mark at the end of the paragraph, so if you copy the paragraph marker you've copied the format and you should expect it to paste as "bulleted."

You can select a paragraph mark from an unbulleted paragraph and copy it, select the mark on a bulleted line and paste, and the bullet goes away, but that may just chase the bullet to the next line.

Before the appearance of the "format paint" function, the easiest way to make the format of a paragraph match another differently formatted one sometimes was to copy the mark from the good one and paste it on top of the mark at the one you wanted changed.

If you can select the text you want to copy from a bulleted section without including a paragraph mark you can paste it elsewhere without getting a bullet on it. Of course that means you can only paste one "almost paragraph" at a time.
