This is normal behaviour when you paste data from a web page into an 'internet aware' application (all Office applications are internet-aware).
Notepad is not internet-aware (ie it can't connect to the internet so no request is made).
Interestingly, this seems to happen only when you copy from Internet Explorer into an Office document. I use Opera as my main browser and you can copy/paste into Word from Opera without 'winword.exe' requesting internet access. I daresay that applies to copying from Firefox too, but I can't confirm that as I don't use it.
There's evidently some correlation going on between Microsoft applications here. But it is possible to 'break' that by using a different web-browser.
