placing the image in Word can cause damage and the act of saving the
image using the web page option will create a jpg even if the original
image was not jpg (note that the compression model used when creating
a jpg is applied EVERY time it is saved and that compression causes a
loss of image quality that progresses with every save).

Do you mean that if I save a document one hundred times, the quality of the
images therein will gradually lower to the point of being almost useless? I
thought that if the JPEG compression scheme was already applied, it won't be
applied again.

To preserve image quality you would be better served saving the image
in the native format of your image editor, modifying the image there,
saving a copy for your document, and then inserting the document
version of the image.

SCENARIO
I paste a high resolution picture into Word. I shrink the picture to fit my
document. Now I do not have the original, but I need to edit that picture as
a high resolution image. I right-click inside of Word and click copy. I
paste it into a graphics program. The graphic is now low resolution.

QUESTION
I know Word has the high resolution version of it. I just don't know how to
copy it out. Is there a way?
