When text is copied to the clipboard, some programs do not provide information such as which font to use, size, and styling features such as boldface, underlining, etc. Non-styled information pasted from the clipboard to a ClarisWorks document will come in as the default font and style defined by the Operating System, rather than the current font and style at the insertion point.
Styled text pastes into ClarisWorks documents in the font and styles defined for it when it was copied to the clipboard.
