As you can control the source, is it worth (at least to test) saving the range 
into a CSV format to force everything to plain text. That way non-text elements 
shouldn't get into the clipboard?

I often wish for an Office 'Copy Special' function to mirror 'Paste Special', 
so I can grab just content values from Office documents without the 
accompanying proprietary detritus - sorry, I of course meant 'added value'!! 
;-)   
Best,
Keith..
