Re: Copy picture from internet into Word document

Thank you.
It works.
I cant believe I didn't try the paste from the menu also ctrl + v works.
Old habits I suppose.
I've always liked the RC method because it is simple.
The concerns were because I can still use the RC method at college but not
at home.
Also when I tried to copy some help files into Word the I got the same
problem, so I just assumed I had made some bad changes to my setup or
graphics problems.
Again thank you for your time.

Regards.
