- Excel tries to use several types. It starts (I think) with CF_BIFF and
- then wanders through a variety of formats until it eventually reaches
- CF_TEXT. All you need to do is to NACK the format(s) you don't
- understand and Excel will try again. I can't find a code fragment
- offhand, but this should point you in the right direction.
