How to paste regular text from Microsoft Onenote to Evernote
Using Onenote 2013 and Evernote, when I try copy pasting from Onenote to Evernote I get notes pasted as images instead of text.
One workaround is to paste into Microsoft Word, and then copy and paste to Evernote.
Is there a direct way of doing this?

From experimentation, this works for me:
When you copy from OneNote, use Ctrl+C. Then when you paste to Evernote, use
Ctrl+Alt+V (don't use Ctrl+V). You will be shown options from the clipboard.
Then simply hit Enter.
Update: When I originally posted this, I didn't realize that I could do this because of a freeware program I had downloaded called PhraseExpress.
For me, Ctrl + Alt +V creates a new note in evernote with clipboard content. Both if I'm in an evernote window or another program.

I use an AutoHotKey script for this. Good thing is it works in any program, not only Evernote.
Script below, adapted from this forum post.

Sleep, 100
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll ;save original clipboard contents
Clipboard = %clipboard% ;remove formatting
Sleep, 100
Send ^v ;send the Ctrl+V command
Sleep, 100
Clipboard := ClipSaved ;restore the original clipboard contents
ClipSaved = ;clear the variable
Return
The disadvantage is that is also removes the formatting if you are copy-pasting from/to applications like Word, where you might want to preserve the formatting ... Still, a nice solution

Inspired by the other answers using AutoHotkey to tackle this issue, I've created a AutoHotkey script that changes the Ctrl-C command to remove the formatting when copying text from OneNote. This avoids copy-paste of formatting/images/files from breaking in other applications.
$^c::
Send ^c ; Do a normal copy to clipboard
sleep 100 ; Wait for the copy to finish
WinGet current_application, ProcessName, A ; Get the name of the current application
; if the application is OneNote, and the copied content is text ...
if ((current_application = "ONENOTE.EXE") && DllCall("IsClipboardFormatAvailable", "uint", 1)) {
clipboard = %clipboard% ; remove the formatting
}

Not smooth, but it worked :-/
This is on the latest EN release on Win7 and OneNote 2010.
This is the same approach the OP is trying to avoid, only using Notepad as the intermediate app rather than Word, so it isn't really a solution to the question.

Script below, adapted from this forum post.

Clipboard = %clipboard% ;remove formatting
Sleep, 100
Send ^v ;send the Ctrl+V command

The disadvantage is that is also removes the formatting if you are copy-pasting from/to applications like Word, where you might want to preserve the formatting ... Still, a nice solution

I just found a third-party solution to this issue. The clipboard manager "Clipboard Fusion" has a standard "scrub" feature which allows OneNote clips to be pasted as plain text. This is a partial solution but I still needed to manually re-instate any necessary text formatting.
I contacted technical support and they have just provided me with a macro which enables me to paste fully formatted text! I have not tested it on complex formatting (tables etc) but it certainly transfers basic fonts and styles.
