Microsoft does the trick with a long static tooltip below the list of
options like "Insert the content of the clipboard as a bitmap picture.
This format can take up a lot of memory and disc space, but is exactly
what you see on the screen". Hard to imagine that we find a similar
appropriate text that is shorter. But lets try:

GDI metafile - Screen optimized bitmap (GDI)
PNG Bitmap - Cross-plattform optimized bitmap (PNG)
Bitmap - Compatibility optimized bitmap [Remark: is that true?]
calc8 - Calc object [Remark: what's the difference to standard paste operation?]
DDE link - Reference only (DDE link)
DIF - Paste text using standardized formats (DIF)
Unformatted text - Paste plain text
Formatted text [RTF] - Paste with formattings (RTF)
Formatted text [Richtext] - Paste with formattings (Richtext) [Remark: What's 
the difference between "RTF"=Rich formatted text and "Richtext"?]
HTML (HyperText Markup Panguage) - Paste with web formatting (HTML)
Star Object Descriptor (XML) - Backward compatibility object (SOD XML)

[Remark: Today we have an awkward mixture of brackets)
