That may be, but the person taking the images is pasting into a MS Word

On Windows, you can paste a screen capture into Windows Paint, save as .png,
then insert the image into MS Word. (At least, the Vista version of Paint
supports .png and I think the XP version does as well.)

The answer is no.
Print screen stores images in the Clipboard as bitmaps.
Gif , png, etc. are file formats - nothing to do with the Clipboard
