Actually I have noticed that word will access the internet anytime anything
is pasted from IE. I have to wonder why does word need to access the internet
to paste text. If it is a is DRM issue then the operation should be done in
IE during the cut operation. If it is to access the underlying links then
why does it do it when no links are present. I don't want word to access the
internet during a paste operation from the clipboard. This is a problem issue
not a implementation choice. Can I turn this feature off?

Subject: Pasting Images from Website


I'm just trying to save a canceled check image from my bank, in case I
need
proof of payment later. It is not just an image. It is two images (front
and back) and a bit of text (check date, number, amount) at the top. Its
in
a popup window that I get when I click on the check. I don't want to
have
to save all these things individually somewhere, find them again, and
cobble
them back together. I used to be able (last month) to highligh the
contents
of the popup and copy it to the clipboard and then paste the contents into
Wordpad (as well as Word 2000). It seems that it is no longer being
copied
the clipboard to be pasted anywhere. And even things that ARE copied to
the
clipboard, Word 2003 wants to go BACK to the internet AGAIN when I click
"paste."

Also, if I deny Word 2003 permission to go to the internet when I get
ready
to paste something, it takes FOREVER - and I mean minutes - to finally
paste
it without going to the internet. Is there a setting to stop this "going
back to the internet AGAIN" behavior and get it to just paste what is IN
THE
CLIPBOARD without all the delay?? Do I have to go back to Word 2000 and
not
purchase 2003, to solve this?

Thanks,

I am so confused. Word apparently pastes some things copied from the
internet to the clipboard without accessing the internet. Wordpad
doesn't
have to access the internet to paste something - why does Word?

Is there NO way to make the data go to the clipboard and be copied from
there?

I think it is actually a Windows problem at this point because what I'm
trying to copy (a popup from my bank with text and front image and back
image
of check) used to copy fine to Wordpad and Word both. It's like the
data
is
never getting to the clipboard. Could it be some kind of data image
filter
missing or something?

As I pointed out in my reply to your previous question, images on Web
pages
*are* linked, so when you copy an image from the Web, you are copying
the
link rather than the picture.

I used to be able to copy an image of a canceled check from my
bank's
website
and paste it into Word 2000 and Wordpad. I copied an image
containing
text
and image, the text pasted, the image did not (used to all paste as
one
item). This no longer works. Most of the copy/paste web to
word/wordpad
continue to work, but some, such as this one, do not.

I was using an HP installed version of Windows that came with MS
Works
and
installed Word 2000 from Office 2000 Small Business. I reinstalled
this
same
operating system and the copy/paste no longer worked. I may have
uninstalled
Works also.

Then I reinstalled my OS with a fresh copy of WinXP (no crapware
from
HP)
and the cut/paste from this particular bank website page to Word
2000,
Word
2003, Wordpad still did not work any longer.

Also, when I copy an image from the web to the clipboard, Word 2003
wants
to
go to the internet for the image instead of pasting it from the
clipboard.
I
hope it is pasting images and not links, but I don't know how to
tell
or
how
to make it default to always paste the image itself (never links).
I
really
do not want Word 2003 going to the internet for things I that want
to
paste
that I have copied into the clipboard. Can I stop this behavior and
make
it
paste the image itself from the clipboard?

Thanks, --Anna




Anna,
Some websmasters implement Java and other tricks to defeat
"novice
users" from saving their images.

I'd suggest, with your internet browser open, RIGHT click on the image
you
desire and save to a local folder. (or at least attempt).
If successful, than insert that local image in your Word doc.

Please note that just because you have the ability to save images locally
and for your own personal use?
That does not mean that you are not free from copyright compliance as
related to passing the image on to others.





I realize it's a PITA trying to locate things (you likely have trouble
finding your home again when visiting your neighbor or finding your auto in
the 7-11 parking lot).

However, both blaming Word for your limited choices and your lack of
understanding of the internet and your OS is a bit obnoxious. Further,
believing that every participant in Usenet is going to be able to read your
mind (and your computers activity within recent periods) is even more
obnoxious.

The simplest solution to saving the check images you desire is to use your
web browser and save the page and images locally (as I previously provided.)
From local folders you may accomplish anything you desire with out being
dependent upon HTTPS or other website limited restrictions.
