Word 2013 Copying Images Shows Blank Square
up vote

Recently, copying and pasting images from the Internet into my Word or Outlook document/e-mail stopped working.
Instead of showing the actual image, it inserts a white square. This is how it looks (yes, there is an image below):
Note that other pictures are displayed properly. I'm NOT using the option to replace all images with white squares and black lines around them:
A workaround would be saving the image to the disk and then dragging and dropping the file from the explorer into Word. I do not want that since it unnecessarily wastes my time.
Can you tell me why this is happening and how I can make it stop?

Does it do the same thing if you log into the computer as a different user? How about if you try it while booted in Safe Mode?

I'm the only user (administrator) and if I boot Windows in Safe Mode it won't recognize my Office license and refuses the run the application. In case you meant the Word Safe Mode usingwinword /safe
command, the issue persists

Create a new user and try with that one. I'm trying to help you narrow it down to whether its a system-wide problem, or just something about your user account. I did mean Windows' Safe Mode, but knowing you triedwinword /safe
helps too. :) Exactly which version of Office/Word 2013 are you using?

@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007: On a new user account it works fine, the image can be pasted normally. The version isMicrosoft Office Professional Plus 2013
. How do I reset it? Deleting the registry keyHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0Word
did not work, just like deleting theC:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftTemplates
folder.

To solve this issue in Word 2016, I found Paste Special (Alt + Ctrl + V).
This lets you choose to paste as Bitmap.
