Copying large data sets into tables

[Writer]

Something I've done if the tables are not too complex in structure is:

In Word, convert the table to text.
Copy the data, and then paste it into FrameMaker. 

In FrameMaker, select all of the data, and convert text to table.

that this means that FrameMaker is expecting to be pasting from one FrameMaker
table to another FrameMaker table. I've also tried copying via Notepad but I
get the same result.
