how do i paste a jpeg file onto microsoft word

i can't copy a jpeg file and paste it into microsoft word
HELP!!!

If the jpeg is on your hard drive, then in Word click on Insert | Picture |
From File. If the jpeg is on a website, it might be better to right-click on
the jpeg, "save target as" to your hard drive, then insert picture from file.

Can you explain with substantially more detail what you are trying to
do? What is the source of the image you are trying to copy... a Word
file, a website, or ??? What happens when you try to save as jpeg?

This is actually my daughter's problem. Let me tell you it in detail. She
goes onto Google and searches for an image of Spiderman for an English
report. She found the image she wanted, right clicked, selcted copy, and the
tried to paste it to her Word document. Nothing happened. She just got an
empty box with the eight handles around its perimeter. If she tries to save
the image to desk top, it can only be saved as a Paint Shop Photo and then
when you try and insert that file into the Word document a 'Convert File' box
comes up and no matter what option she selects the image won't appear on the
page. She's working with Word 2003 and the operating system is Windows XP.
She was always able to do it on our old computer(Microsoft Word 2000 &
Windows 2000). What are we doing wrong. By the way thanks so much for taking
the time and helping us out.

The first thing your daughter did (right-click, copy, paste) should work. To
change the empty box into the actual image, in Word click on Tools | Options
| View tab | uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | check the "Drawings"
box | Print tab | check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.

All the boxes you said to check were already checked. What I found out was
that I am able to paste the images into Word when I'm on line with MSN
Explorer, but I can't do it when my daughter is on line with AOL. What's your
next suggestion. Also maybe you can answer this question. Why can't I move
the image around the page once it's pasted into the Word document?

The "picture placeholders" box should be UNchecked... that's usually why a
pasted image appears as an empty box with eight handles around it. If you
need to move the image by dragging with the mouse, right-click on the image,
then left-click on Format Picture | Layout, and choose a wrapping option that
is NOT "Inline with text"... then you will be able to drag the image.

I don't use AOL, but I'm not sure why AOL would be any different from MSN as
far copying and pasting web content. An alternative approach in AOL would be
to right-click on an image, then "save as" to a folder on your hard drive
(not to your desktop). Then in Word you can click on Insert | Picture | From
file, browse to the folder where the saved image is, select the image, and
insert the image into the Word document.

I misspoke, The"picture placeholders" box is UNchecked. As far as moving the
image by dragging I can't get to the Format Picture option after right
clicking on the image. Thanks for being so patient with me.

When you paste a picture from the Web, you're just pasting a link to the
picture's online location. There are two ways around this:

1. The quick and dirty way is to paste the picture, then select it and press
Ctrl+Shift+F9 immediately to unlink it. This embeds the picture in the
document.

2. A better way, which makes the picture available to other documents (and
to this one should anything untoward happen to it) is to save the picture in
your My Pictures folder. Right-click on the picture on the Web page and
choose Save Image As. You should be able to save it as a JPEG or GIF
(whichever it is). If .bmp is your only option, then you need to clear your
file cache. In Internet Explorer, select Tools | Internet Options. On the
General tab, under "Temporary Internet Files," click on Delete Files...
