Subject: Re: [PCSOFT] Clipboard no longer accepts images from websites



I'm wondering if other browsers, such as Firefox will cut text with embedded
objects to the clipboard - anybody know?  They wouldn't have the same
motivation to remove that feature that MS has.

...my experience in a middle school where students would frequently want to copy
the contents of a web page to a document indicate(-d, -s) that often it is
necessary to right-click on displayed images, then save them to the local
computer, in order to insert -> picture -> from file in Word (or some other
word processor--we have MS Office as our county-wide productivity suite).
This has been the case at least since IE 5.x, and, in my experience, hasn't
changed in later versions. I suspect that the evolution of HTML editing and
production of web pages (with apps like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, .asp pages,
and other) may have made this save-and-insert process more necessary than it
used to be.
