Clipboard transfer to Excel is broken

Transferring information to Excel from the dotNET framework is mostly broken.

The comma separated values format doesn’t work. The metafile format doesn’t work. Even separating simple values by tabs and storing them on the clipboard as a string fails to handle multi-line values.
