Ben-- 

What Illustrator places on the clipboard is data in the AICB format--if I said EPS earlier, I misspoke. 

I doubt Illustrator can be coaxed into putting WMF or BMP on the clipboard. But that doesn't mean that what you want to do is impossible--instead of relying on copy/paste, why not export the Illustrator data in whatever format and then import the data into your form? 

You could then provide a button on the form that imports the file into your Word or PowerPoint document, rather than relying on copy/paste from the form. 

Thanks, 

Ole
