This is clearly closely related to the problem I had recently copying text from
Livecode into Mac Mail.
YES, Livecode should copy PLAIN text when you ask it to copy PLAIN unformatted
text. That said,
Here’s the script that I ended up using that work for copying a list of tabbed
data into Exce
PR 6293 should correct this issue (19206). When plain text is copied to the
clipboard, styled text will not be added.

Like Mike, I found that the text to columns tool, using space as
delimiter, will separate the entry into columns. That seems to imply that
somewhere the tabs are changed to spaces. Also, pasting into a text editor
does show the tabs, and copying from there preserves them when pasting into
Excel
I have no access to Excel at the moment, but I cannot believe that the
default field delimiter could possibly have changed from tab. May just as
well change the record delimiter from return
It would break just about everything.

Excel's default delimiter from tab to comma.
Does comma as delimiter work?

Hi,
i cannot reproduce that here on Mac OS X and Excel 2016 (V 15.30).
I executed your sample code in the messagebox and was able to paste
successfully the clipboard to Excel.
I even tried with alpha numeric values.
But what i noticed is the following:

It's strange. If you paste into excel, then select the cell and use the
text to columns tool, using Space as delimiter, poof. Columns. Also, in
libreoffice, paste special can be used to choose "unformatted text" and
that works also. Surely there is a way to pop a simple tab delimited
string into
Jacque.
As if you needed this, confirmed here.
What on earth can v.8 be doing to the tab character???
