Problems Pasting Website Images Into Word
In the last couple of months I have starting having problems pasting images
from websites into Word 2003 (or Outlook with Word as the editor). I commonly am pasting a page full of text and images. The text display properly and the space for the image is there, but not the graphic itself. This happens with both photos and with charts/graphs etc. Here are some things I've tried that *didn't* solve it: -Modifying the placeholder settings in Word -Modifying the drawing settings in Word -Turning off/modifying hardware acceleration on the graphics chip (display settings) I've noticed that if I am just copying an image and I select "Paste Special" and I use "Device Independent Bitmap" the image displays. However this isn't an option when I am copying a combination of text/images. I have this behavior on every website. I also have a colleague with basically the same system and he does NOT have this problem. I assumed that this was the result of a security setting change with Microsoft Updates but I can't figure out what it is. Any ideas? |

Problems Pasting Website Images Into Word
When you press Alt+F9, do you see a field code in the image space? Web
images are usually just links to the location of the image on a server, so even if the image were displayed, it wouldn't be physically saved to your computer unless you used File | Save As | Web page, complete in your browser. If you do see a field code, click in it, and press Ctrl+Shift+F9, does this make the image display? -- Suzanne S.

Problems Pasting Website Images Into Word
Thanks for your help!
When I press Alt+F9 I don't see a field code in the space where the image was. It looks the same. I'm confused about your explanation because I've never had this problem before. Also, I can copy and paste images into other Non-Office applications (such as Filemaker Pro) without a problem- and without it being a link to the original image. Any other ideas out there?
