copying pictures from Internet Explorer to word

[happy_crazy_hannah]

When I try to copy stuff of the internet and into Microsoft Word, no pictures
copy, just blank squares where they should be. Even if I right click the
picture and click copy, it still doenst work.

I have Windows XP, service pack 2. Internet Explorer 6.0.2900 and Microsoft
Word 2002 SP3.

In general, pictures copy/pasted from the Web are not embedded in your
document: they're just links to the pictures on the Web. You can see this if
you toggle field codes (Alt+F9). You can cause them to be embedded by
unlinking them (Ctrl+Shift+F9). A better approach, however, is to
right-click on the picture on the Web page and use "Save picture as." Save
the picture to your My Pictures folder, then use Insert | Picture | From
File to insert it in your document. This really doesn't take much longer,
and it has the added advantage that you have a copy of the picture stored
outside the document in case anything happens to the document itself.
