OLE or Visio support would be very difficult.
Visio support is about as likely as a very unlikely thing from the planet
unpossible*.

Probably the best way to get stuff out of Microsoft Office and potentially
allow cut and paste from Office woudl be WMF (windows metafile) support
using libwmf
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104167

There are potentially other ways to go about this particularly on windows
which is already using some of the Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface)
to allow export as WMF.
