?Describe the similarities and differences in using the Paste Button options versus the Paste Special dialog box

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary. Using one of the buttons on the Paste button menu (or on the Paste Options button that appears after you paste an object) allows you to choose to keep the source file theme and formatting or apply the theme and formatting in the destination file, in addition to letting you choose between pasting, embedding, and linking. Using the commands in the Paste Special dialog box offers additional choices for pasting. For example, if you want to paste an Excel table as text, you can choose to paste it as formatted or unformatted text; and if you want to paste a table or chart as an image, you can choose from a few additional file types. You cannot, however, choose to use the source or destination theme formatting. If you choose a formatted option, the copied object will be pasted with the source file formatting; if you choose an unformatted option, the copied object will be pasted as unformatted text or data. Ultimately, the method you use will be determined by exactly what you want to appear in your destination document.Please see the section "Object Linking and Embedding" for more information.?
