Sure.  You need to edit maker.ini in your Frame directory, while Frame is 
not running.  Look for a line like this:

 ClipboardFormatsPriorities=FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP, MIF, RTF, TEXT

and edit it so that TEXT is the first item.  Be *very* careful when editing
this file not to add line breaks within any item; Notepad is an OK editor.
And always save a copy of the original file under another name first, so if
anything goes wrong you can see if your edit caused it.

HTH!
