Try OLE for OpenOffice, it may work. I have not used the clipboard of Windows with Office. I may try it my next project.

Please let me know if it works for you.

I experimented using copy and paste and essentially it is the same as what I was doing - inserting an OLE object (Word or Excel version 2003) and copying the data into this new object. AutoCAD (ADT 20004) even calls it an OLE object. Double clicking the Word/Excel data opened the application for editing. I did not realize I could copy the Word/Excel data and paste it in a drawing in less steps.

I do not have OpenOffice so I cannot try inserting OLE objects but I can see what you would want the copy/paste capability. Have you tried OpenOffice forums to see if someone created OLE capability on some version of the software?
