Hi guys, I initially opened this bug ( https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58510) but apparently the user list suits better.
What I want is to be able to read the content of the system clipboard (after someone copied something from Excel). I was doing that with POI (HSSF). I was finding the "Biff8" format inside the clipboard (among others) and giving it to POI and everything was fine. Apparently the Biff8 format is for Excel 97-2007. So my question is, is it still possible to use POI for reading clipboard out of newer version of Excel? Has anyone attempted that? I know you people are used to open files directly with POI so my needs are a bit different. Here is a list Formats available when copying (XML Spreadsheet, text/rtf, cf5, cf4,cf129, Biff5 , Biff12, text/plain, Link,text/html, Biff8, Object Descriptor, Csv, Link Source Descriptor). Thank you, Sam'
