Bitmap to Clipboard problem

Have a problem with clipboard. Using the standard way for copying the
image data:

read the image into "myBitmap"

copy the image into clipboard:

DataObject myData = new DataObject();
myData.SetData( DataFormats.Dib,true,myBitmap);
Clipboard.SetDataObject(myData,true);

Now: pasting the image from the clipboard works with most programs
(e.g. MS Paint, Outlook). But it doesn't work with OpenOffice :( There
is no "Paste" function active...

The there is only one entry in clipboard formats after above operation:

MetaFilePict - DeviceIndependentBitmap

There is no problem with OpenOffice when image is copied from MS Paint.
So checked the clipboard formats after copying the image into clipboard
in MS Paint. There are two formats:

MetaFilePict - DeviceIndependentBitmap
Embed Source - Object Descriptor

Does the second entry causes the problem? How to resolve that problem?
