From the help ( Win32.hlp, Index entry: Clipboard )

"A window can place more than one clipboard object on the clipboard,
each representing the same information in a different clipboard
format. When placing information on the clipboard, the window should
provide data in as many formats as possible. To find out how many
formats are currently used on the clipboard, call the
CountClipboardFormats function. "

"After emptying the clipboard, the window places data on the clipboard
in as many clipboard formats as possible, ordered from the most
descriptive clipboard format to the least descriptive. For each
format, the window calls the SetClipboardData function, specifying the
format identifier and a global memory handle. The memory handle can be
NULL, indicating that the window renders the data on request. For more
information, see Delayed Rendering. "

Delayed Rendering is good... "if the application supports several
clipboard formats, some or all of which are time-consuming to render."
