Copy vector object(s) Uses the standard format to copy objects to the clipboard in Windows
(WMF). In most cases, this option is the same as using the standard
Copy command. WMF does not support transparency; transparent
Canvas objects are not rendered and will appear opaque when pasted
into other programs.

available when you select Copy as Image.
