Whilst the Excel/Clipboard/WMF works for charts it doesn't work for text and
figures, it just transfers everything at text without any formatting other
than tabs for columns.

Um.

Select an area of a spread sheet in Excel, copy to the clipboard. Then:

Paste into an empty frame - result text

Paste into a frame which contains a picture - result a graphic

The thing is that when information is saved to the Win clipboard it is saved in a number of formats. The application doing the pasting has to decide what it wants.
