why doesn't 'copy' copy to the clipboard any longer

[J Wilkie]

I have a clipart picture in a Word document which I want to copy to another
Word document. When I do either
(i) left click and then 'copy' or CTRL C or (ii) right click and then 'copy
- the picture isn't copied to the clipboard.
If I use the cursor to highlight the area around the picture, I CAN copy
this to the clipboard. I used to be able to click on the picture itself - why
does it no longer work?
It copies text no problem.
Word 2007.
