The RTE element does not have its own tab but is usually just a sub-part of another element.

Based on this example, the various options are best explained: CTRL+V Pastes the cached text. It is not recommended to use this function because there is the possiblity to also paste unwanted style information. Paste Pastes the cached text and removes some style information.
