Windows – How to copy web page text and images to MS Word

copy/pasteimagesmicrosoft wordwindows

From time to time I want to copy and paste a portion of a web document (viewed in both IE Explorer 7 and 8) into MS Word 2007. The selected text copies and pastes fine, but I am left with only place holders for the images (png). Right clicking the image and clicking copy, then pasting into MS Word doesn't work either. If I paste the image into MS Paint and copy it from there, I can paste it into the Word document. What gives?

Best Answer

In Word 2007 I always had a problem when copying webpages into it. The page would not fit, and go outside the columns, etc. until I found this:

  • Copy
  • Paste,
  • Then select: Page layout
  • Select: Web layout
