For example, if you copy something from Writer to the clipboard, it might copy the object in an
OOo Text format including all associated styles and such. This format is only usable by OOo, but allows you to paste into an OOo document and have all the required styles and lose no formatting. It probably also includes a Rich Text Format, which is available to applications other than OOo and still includes formatting information. A normal text version without certain formatting is also usually present. If you use Paste Special, it lets you choose the version that you should paste. I am very inclined to use this to paste text copied from a web page rather than let OOo try to recreate the formatting information from the HTML.
