Transfer data to/from Word or Excel

[Concerned7]

WHY won't TT allow to transfer a clump of data from a .docx to TT, as the name, address, TIN of a 1099-xx payer?  Or a clump of #s in XL to Schedule B? 

And in the other direction: WHY can't I highlight (paint) a screen in TT and copy it to Word? 

Why is taking a screenshot the ONLY means to extracting TT (esp summary) screen that is not a Form or Wks?!

Allowing these kinds of transfers would be so helpful in debugging my entries.
