It can't be *that* private.

The OP's concern was that tabs are -removed- when pasting into Rev. I was 
able to paste from Excel into several other programs with tabs preserved.

Of course it worked well pasting into Office programs. But it worked in all 
other, non-Microsoft applications I tried, too. In fact, I was surprised to 
see that when pasting into Xara Xtreme (a program which actually asks you 
what aspect of the clipboard you want to paste), I saw options for enhanced 
metafile, bitmap, unformatted text, and rich text. Tabs were preserved.

In Rev, "put the keys of the clipboardData" shows "styles, rtf, unicode, 
text" and none of those formats has any tabs within.

I decided to file a report myself on this. #6269
