Summary: Copy and paste data from spreadsheet into R editor

Initial Comment:
Since many people end up copying data from Excel sheets into R, 
it would be great to have the possibility to paste the data not only into the data set editor,
but also as 'R-encoded'-text (e.g. vector: c(x1,x2, ...), or matrix: rbind(c(x1,x2,...), c(y1,y2,...))) into an R script. 

Thanks!
Ralf.

Works with OpenOffice 3.2.0 ! Thanks!

Rows are pasted as columns, though. 
Works fine when the toggle option is used.

I still think it's a nice idea worth implementing some day, even if you no
longer have a need for it. So I'll re-open to keep it on the list.
