Default contacting the server for information

For graphics, instead of Copy/Paste, right-click the graphic and choose Save
Picture As. Then insert the saved picture from your HD using Insert |
Picture. This has the advantage that if anything goes wrong with the
document, you still have the picture saved externally in a proper graphic
format.

That is not a solution when one is trying copy graphics into Word. Frankly
that is (was) my only reason for paying for Word 2007.

Are you serious that Microsoft hasn't found an issue for this yet? SO
MANY
PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE!!!. Search some threads on the internet, and
NO
it
is NOT an acceptable solution to paste just text, when sometimes we
need
the
formatting from the websites. PLEASE help fix this problem!.

tie to HTML. (The file is saved as a DOC.)
