When plain Copy-Paste doesn't work, the best option is usually to convert the cell to InputForm and THEN Copy-Paste. I generally use the first method unless it's ugly, then use the second. Sometimes the second is also ugly, but in that case, I don't think there's any cure possible (let alone available).
