How to copy formatted test into Word 2010 without it being put into a table?

When I copy text that contains bullets into Word, Word puts it into a table, which restricts justification and integrating with regular text. When trying to select or move text, one keeps snagging the border which increases indentation of everything. When I copy formatted text, I want to retain the formatting, but still be able to edit each line and paragraph individually. I usually have merge formatting set so that the font becomes my local font choice. But how do I do it without it being stuck in a table?
