@Mike if you can post a file with an example of a node structure you want to clone, I can help you figure a solution for it.
For pasting in lists for other places, try saving the node with alt+enter. By default it splits on \n\n though that is configurable in the settings. This works for copying and pasting from a webpage in a web browser, though it doesn't respect hierarchy so is suitable for flat lists only. I have no idea about Word and it's I'll, haven't used them in about ten years. I posted a proof of concept a while back for using Streams as an editor for lists in wikitext. There might be ideas useful to you in there as well.
