Oberon/F puts several formats on the clipboard. For text this is
Oberon/F-View
RTF text
UNICODE text
ASCII text
Picture
It is not completely under our control, what the program automatically
takes from these formats, it depends on the heuristics in the OLE client
(MS Word in this example).

However, if you perform a Paste-Special in MW Word, then you can
choose the format.
