Word 2013 Copying Images Shows Blank Square

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 using winword /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 tried winword /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 is Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. How do I reset it? Deleting the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0Word did not work, just like deleting the C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftTemplates folder.

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