Copy and paste error.

[DanielWalters6]

Why when ever I right-click copy image in safari, the move into a Microsoft
word document and click paste, do I get the link for it. (eg.
http://www.google.co.uk/IMAGE)

Then when that's not working properly, I drag the images from one window to
another, it then appears correctly.

They when transphering the documents containing the images to a Windows
Based PC, the main document opens as normal, but it says that a "Quicktime
supressor is needed to view these files" in the placeholder of the image.

If I then copy the images into Preview, then save to my desktop in a JPEG
format, then import the image into the same place etc, then move the document
over to my PC it is viewed and printed correctly.

I am presuming there is a way of changing the settings for the copy and
paste, to not show the link (is this in Safari or Word?)

and there should be a way of copying/ moving the images in a JPEG format,
not a quicktime.

Please help me if you can with my dilema, or at lest point me in the right
direction, because I have a technology unfirnedly mother who can't see and
understand why it may be appearing on her screen correclty and not mine.

Thank you for you time,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the post .Word prefers HTML over picture on paste, that is why
you get a link . To get a picture instead of a link you can
1.go to edit | paste special, 2. choose pict in the dialog, 3. OK
This will put the picture and not the link in your document .
However you will still see the same message on the PC "Quick time...".
so the best method is to drag the image from safari to finder and then use
that image in word document .
Regards,
Priyanka

Is there a setting for Safari to automatically whenever dragging, copying or
anything that will make it choose to use JPEG format instead of quicktime?

I've tried doing what you've said , and it works.
WHY does Word prefer HTML. The Windows equivilent doesn't, and I BELIEVE
(not 100% sure) but the newer version of mac word, (I've running a version
behind, not sure what version, but equivlient to running XP version instead
of 2003) doesn't have this copy and paste problem.

Thank you for your time

I think it is probably an Apple thing in that Safari is using quicktime
components within webkit and therefore Safari. Since IE on Windows doesn't
do this, you don't ever see this problem on a PC.

Any ideas on how/what these webkit features are, and how to change them?

Or are you not working on mac?

Many thanks
