You can do anything you want if you wish hard enough (and shell out enough
bucks for the proprietary information).

I believe the Word uses RTF (Rich Text Format) which is very easy to get
information on.  What you need to do, is find out the name of their clipboard
and the format they use.  Sometimes this is easy, sometimes its damn near 
impossible.  I wish you luck.
