Three questions...?
1. Click on the linked image and press Ctrl+Shift+F9, which will unlink it
and embed it in the doc. 2. and 3. This would be difficult given that they're images. You could copy them to the Clipboard, but unfortunately you can use the ^c (Clipboard contents) code only in the "Replace with" box, not "Find what." Assuming, however, that they are also linked rather than embedded, you might try another approach: after unlinking the images you want to keep, Alt+F9 to display field codes, then use Find and Replace to search for ^19 INCLUDEPICTURE and replace with nothing. When Word finds an INCLUDEPICTURE field (^19 is the code for the opening field brace), it will select the entire field, so it will all be deleted. -- Suzanne S.

"Cagney" wrote in message ... I'm trying to deal with converting a web page I copied and pasted into Word, into a saveable document... I have three things left to do... Firstly, is there any way of *forcing* Word to store the images in the document? Usually when they're pasted from clipboard and do not reside anywhere, Word will store them... but when I paste an image from the Web, Word usually seems to store only the link to it rather than the actual copy of the image...? I would like it to store these images in the document along with the text... Secondly, is there any macro that would remove all instances of Javascript from the document (marked as a small yellow "J" icon in the document...)? Finally, any macros that would remove an image repeated throughout the text (specifically a small arrow that appears about 80 times in the document and that, in the online version, was used with Javascript to scroll the page...) TIA... |

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 Fennell "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 1. Click on the linked image and press Ctrl+Shift+F9, which will unlink it and embed it in the doc. |

It does embed by default.

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. -- Suzanne S.

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? Anna "Suzanne S.

Hi, Anna. When I said it doesn't embed the image by default, I didn't
realize you were copying and pasting from the web. Also, perhaps you ought to try a screen capture program like SnagIt, which will allow you to do exactly what you want. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Anna Summers" wrote in message ...

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. -- Suzanne S.

I have a program that I use when all else fails, or to copy little bits of
things (MWSnap - and its great), but you have to be able to SEE everything you are copying and the popup is just small enough so you can't get the text and all of the back of the canceled check at once - and the window is not resizable. For this reason, screen copy won't do it either. You can SELECT everything at once, and it used to copy intact to the clipboard, but no longer does. It seems that the CLIPBOARD behavior is what has changed, since wordpad is affected also. I have a wordpad file where I added the copied data all the time as checks came in (I write few checks), but it no longer pastes from the clipboard as it used to. I also have a file in word (I switched because in wordpad the check images would print partially off the page and word shrank them to fit) - but it doesn't work any longer either. It happens on other webpages also, not just this one. Doesn't anyone have an answer to why something that worked last month (copying a selected portion of a webpage - text and graphics together) to the clipboard, suddenly doesn't work anymore???

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?

If the document contains nothing but linked images, then Ctrl+A,
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. -- Suzanne S.

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. "Suzanne S.

Any graphic you copy and paste from the Web is going to be a link, so I
imagine this was the case in Word 2000 as well, unless it automatically unlinked pasted objects. I don't have that much experience with this because I usually save graphics as files instead of pasting them directly. But I do know that there are many new Web-related security precautions that affect this behavior. You'd probably get more authoritative answers in the microsoft.public.word.drawing.graphics NG, however. -- Suzanne S.

"Anna Summers" wrote in message ... 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. "Suzanne S.

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. -- Suzanne S.

"Anna Summers" wrote in message ... 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?

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. -- Suzanne S.

"Anna Summers" wrote in message ... 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? Anna "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 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. -- Suzanne S.
