If you do this "by hand" (as an end-user) do you see the result you want to
have? Or does this also result in a black picture?

If it does give you the correct result, try recording the action in a Macro, in
Word. Then compare the PasteSpecial arguments in the macro to the code you have.

If the arguments' values match, I have a question for you: Are you closing the
first document (with the picture) before you paste in the second document?

Note: you use wdInLine in the code snippet you give us. If the original picture
is also "in line" you could use the Range.FormattedText property to transfer the
picture - no need to use the Clipboard. That might give you better fidelity.
