Tested this using OpenOffice 1.1.0 under Linux, and a FireFox browser -
works.
The copy feature of ocalc (Excel knockoff) stores plain text separated by
tabs in my cut buffer, and ignores column alignments. The result is that
all text pastes the same, so no bold/alignment or font information is
conveyed. Also, "WikiLike" words will expand to wiki tags.
This is a great feature. Thanks (even though I'm not the original
requestor).

> The text columns might appear misaligned when you do the
> paste -- don't worry about that yet.
>5. Press the "Excel" button at the end of the graphical toolbar.
