Word pastes links not images copied from web

[elzlaik]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel When I want to copy an image from Safari into Word I right-click pick "Copy Image" (Not Copy Link) but when I paste in Word I only get the web link. I have to actually go up to Edit>Paste Special>Picture to get the image. I am using 12.2.3.

There's nothing Word can do about that. It depends on the actual
construction of the web page as well as the functionality of the browser.

If you want to see what Safari is actually offering: Copy using the same
method but then switch to Finder & select Edit> Show Clipboard... You'll
find the location, not the picture.

Quite honestly, you'd do better by selecting one of Safari's Save Image
As... options to create a new image file on disk, then use Word's Insert>
Picture> From File. You'll typically get a better quality image. Pasting
graphics is a very "iffy" method & is best avoided whenever possible.
