copying tab delimited text to excel

[Alex Rice]

I have a field with tab stops (string & tab & string & linefeed etc). 
On OS X, I can Command-C and Command-V to copy paste tab-delimited data 
into MS Excel v.X.

On Windows, using Control-C, Excel 2000 doesn't see anything on the 
clipboard. Oh wait... I guess there is nothing on the clipboard at all. 
Is there some trick to getting copy-paste from a field to work on 
Windows, or do I have to implement it myself using rawKeyDown and 
clipboard etc?
