I don't think it is the bank because the same thing is happening with other
websites. I don't entirely blame Word 2003, either, unless it changed
Wordpad or more to the point, changed the clipboard, when it installed. Data
(from more than one site) that used to copy fine to the clipboard - including
images and text - no longer do so. Is it possible that the installation of
Word 2003 changed the behavior of the clipboard? The version of WinXP that I
was using when the clipboard worked for everything was from 2002. I'm
wondering if this later version of XP might have a different clipboard
executable and whether I could get the other one back? I don't want to have
to be on the internet to view the images in my documents. Does Word 2000
also insert "links" instead of inserting the actual images? There just has
to be a reason the clipboard suddenly stopped accepting actual images.

Ctrl+Shift+F9 would unlink them all. I have no idea why you can no longer
paste copied images from the Web. I know that pasting from the Web is very
slow in Word 2003 (as a result of security updates, I imagine), but for me
it does eventually work. If not, I would ask your bank if they have changed
anything since last month.

If there are a number of images in the document, having to go back and
select
each one and press Control + Shift + F9 for each one is an aggravation
that
shouldn't be necessary. If I am doing front and back of 10 checks, that's
20
extra steps and 30 extra keys to press, PLUS however much it takes to
locate
highlight each image again. To me, that is extra effort. And it
shouldn't
be necessary. It wasn't necessary last month.
Do you know WHY the clipboard worked last month (accepting data from the
web
- text and actual images that it could paste into wordpad or word) and
suddenly doesn't work now??
Also, whenever Word tries to paste something (even text) from something I
copied (I thought) from the web to the clipboard, it doesn't want to
accept
it from the clipboard (as Word 2000) did, it wants to go BACK out to the
internet AGAIN before it pastes. If I say "yes" it pastes the text
immediately; if I say "no" it just sits there -for minutes - before it
finally gives up and pastes the text. Do I have to go back to Word 2000
and
not buy 2003 to get rid of this obnoxious behavior? Is there no setting
to
make the clipboard work as an actual clipboard, the way it used to?

You don't *have* to save the image and then insert it, but if you don't,
then what you are inserting is a link; there is no way around that. It
seems
to me that selecting the picture (while you are still connected and the
picture is still displayed) and pressing Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink it
requires
very little extra effort.

I'm confused:
Anne Troy says it does embed the image by default and Suzanne Barnhill
says
it does not, that it embeds the link, and goes on to describe a
pain-in-the-neck cumbersome process of getting it into a Word
document.
The item I want to copy/paste is actually three parts, some text, a
check
front and a check back. I used to be able to highlight all of it,
copy it
to
the clipboard and paste it into Word or Wordpad, but that no longer
works,
for some reason. I certainly don't want to have to save three things
somewhere (wading through folders each time), then open a Word
document
and
Click on InsertPictureFromFile and find the file again (wading
through
folders again) for each of the three pieces. That's a bit much.
I was looking for a way to set a DEFAULT to imbed the image that I
(thought
that I) copied to the CLIPBOARD to avoid having to click Ctl+Shift+F9
every
time on every image to "unlink" it - I wasn't looking for something
MORE
complicated.
Is there no way to set it so it copies the material from the CLIPBOARD
by
default (no link) so it can be pasted without Word ALSO having to go
out
to
the internet to get it again? The more I learn about Word, the worse
it
gets
- trying to make a simple 1.2.3 list with a little space (a line or
1/2
line)
between each item (instead of all the items run together with no line
space
between them) is undoable unless you want to write a program to handle
it - I
thought that's what Word was - a program to handle it.
Does WordPerfect handle any of this more gracefully?

Not when you copy images from the Web, no, because what you are
copying
from
the Web is the link, not the picture. Best practice is to
right-click on
the
Web image and choose "Save Image As." After you've saved it to My
Pictures
(or wherever), you can use Insert | Picture | From File to insert it
in
your
document, and that process does embed it by default.

Can you set a default so that Word 2003 will ALWAYS EMBED instead
of
LINK?
It seems a much to have to click around to prevent it from NOT
storing
an
image that you indicate you want to store. Thanks, --Ann
