That's because Comments are not copy-able between instances. If you
look at the object hierarchy for a Comment you'll see that its highest
level of scope is Excel instance containing the workbook it exists in.
It's parent is the Range it belongs to; the Range's parent is the
worksheet; ..and so on.
The only way to physically move a comment from one instance of Excel to
another is to programmatically grab the comment's 'Text' property and
populate a target range with a new comment that contains the text. That
won't copy any formatting unless you also do the same for its
'FillColor' and 'ForeColor' properties. In any respect you can't copy
any RTF formatting this way.
Otherwise, Excel seems to manage its own clipboard content internally
(per instance) for stuff like this. This is different that what we
expect from the Windows clipboard's normal behavior.
