It's part of the horrible bloated code that Microsoft products generate. When you backspace, I guess you're deleting a closing tag, and all the unenclosed material appears verbatim.

I think if you really want to use this procedure to generate your material, you need to use something that reveals the hidden code so you can navigate more accurately. I use Stationery, which provides a useful HTML code view window. This would allow you to position your cursor outside the pasted code's closing tag.

So, why do you backspace?
