how do i paste a jpeg file onto microsoft word

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?

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.

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...

I don't know why this is happening, but it seems that a possible solution
would be for you to save the file using your profile, to a location your
daughter can use.

If you will give me a link to the graphic you're trying to copy, I will see
what happens on my system.

You insert a link by clicking on the URL in the address bar of your browser
and pressing Ctrl+C. You then press Ctrl+V to paste it into a message. In
this case, that is
http://stockimg.free.fr/wallpaperlinks/divx/cinema/spiderman.jpg. If I
right-click on that image and choose Save Picture As, I have no trouble
saving spiderman.jpg to any desired folder. If you can't do that, have you
tried clearing the cache as I suggested?

FWIW, you don't have to double-click an image in Google Images results; a
single click suffices.

Yes I tried clearing the cache, but each time I do the computer freezes up. I
then have to hit Ctrl+Alt+ Del to get the system running again.

At this point, then, you might be better served by asking questions in an IE
NG.

The first thing to remember, is that, When dealing with windows,
you're dealing with a deranged mind; so, when you're stuck, it's
time to stop thinking logically and start thinking associatively.
The second thing to remember, is that, when downloading jpegs,
you need an expert in downloading pictures from the internet,
that is, a man.

Knowing these two things, let's start; and We start by preparing
your mind: I want you to stretch out, slide on the earphones, and
spend the next few minutes pigging out on music. Not any music,
but music sung by a beautiful voice, for instance, Schwartzkopf. Ah,

Schwarzkopf singing Rossini's cat duet - Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...
Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, what a meow. (If you haven't Schwartkopf
in your record collection, you can use plan B: try half a bottle
of good red wine and a long walk and let your imagination run free.)
... if you go to www.google.com, select IMAGES and type in 'spiderman',
the first image on the top line is the one my daughter is trying to paste.
Double click this image then select 'see full size image'. This full size
image is the one she's trying to paste and we just can't make it work.

I can copy and paste the image if it's small 7349 bytes ...
The problem is when I try to enlarge it in Word it loses its detail.

Your small image is called a thumbnail, and, as you've found out,
is completely useless. Toss it out. Infact, everything you've tried
after this point is still using the thumbnail image. At no point
have you saved the full-sized image. (The full sized image is
355125 bytes and not 63808 bytes.)

Try this procedure to get the full sized image.

1) Click on the link below:

http://stockimg.free.fr/wallpaperlinks/divx/cinema/spiderman.jpg

this will load the full sized image into your web browser.

2) From the file menu in your browser, select the save... menu item

3) Make sure, that in the "Save Picture" applet that the file name
is called "spiderman.jpeg."

4) Save the picture. This will be the full-sized image.

5) Close your web-browser.

6) Open up microsoft Word. From the insert menu in word, select the
picture menu and then select the from file... menu item.

7) Navigate to the file "spiderman.jpeg" and double click.

This will insert your picture into Word.
