I just noticed my previous post was all one block of text. I don't know what happened to my line breaks... you have to type the tag manually here?

Anyway, I tried selecting a webpage with text and images and pasting into Word. The pictures were merely appropriately sized placeholders, not actual images. I tried right clicking an image and pasting it into Word; the same thing happened as when I highlighted the image. When pasting into ON, only the "Pasted from " appeared.

Win+S works for screen caps, so I know that my office suite CAN handle pasted images. I also opened an image from the hard drive, right clicked Copy in MS image previewer, and pasted it just fine into Word and ON. It seems that the problem is only with images directly from the web. I have no idea why this might be... running IE with no addons makes no difference, and I have tried two other browsers (safari and flashpeak slimbrowser) and no luck.

Does Office handle images from the web differently? Are there differences in images on the clipboard based on where they came from? I don't understand this at all.
