Remarks
The AllowExcelFormat option is in effect if the ClipboardOptions.ClipboardMode property is set to Formatted. See Clipboard - Copy and Paste Operations. Data Formatting to learn more.
Note
Due to Excel limitations, it is impossible to paste formatted data when copying from more than 65,653 cells. Instead, copied data will be pasted as an RTF or, if this option is disabled, as simple plain text.
