No, you have to make your data available using specific formats that these
applications are interested in. A normal text format will be evaluated by
many other applications (and may be sufficient for Notepad) and there are
other catch-all formats (HTML based formats come to mind), but to send
data into Word or Excel, other more complicated formats are needed. It
really depends on the exact kind of data you have and how it can be
transferred usefully into the target application - and some internal
formats used by Office apps may also be undocumented.
