When you paste text from the web, you’ll usually copy its formatting information as well and insert that into a Doc. If that happens you can strip this formatting by selecting the copied text and going to Format>Clear Formatting in the menu bar.

Go to File>Download As to download the Doc in any number of other document formats.
