Copying/Pasting Images from the Photo Roster into Word

Tags office

When pasting a picture into Word from a browser, Word will use the image’s web location by default.  This means that the document doesn’t really contain the image, just a reference to where it is on the web.  This is problematic for the photo rosters since you must have permission to view the images, and since Word doesn’t “log you in”, you will see the access denied image.

Pasting a single image from the Photo Roster into Word

  1. In your web browser - Right click on the image, and select either "Copy" or “Copy Image”.
  2. In Word, click the paste drop down from the “Home” ribbon and choose “Paste Special”
  3. On the dialog screen that shows up, choose “Device Independent Bitmap” and select OK
  4. You should now see the image in Word as you expect.  You can also use the keyboard shortcut for Paste Special, which is Alt + Ctrl + V.
