Copying (graphics) between emails and also between OE & WORD

[Sebastian42]

Is there a willing 'expert' out there to whom I can explain the details, which are a bit complex and lengthy, not to mention paradoxical.

post em and we'll see what we can do

There are (received) emails consisting of text plus graphics. If I SELECT ALL and paste into WORD, the text appears, but only rectangles for the graphics. Whether or not I can paste individual graphics into the rectangles, is variable, but usually not. Then paradoxically, there are emails where I can paste graphics from a received into a new email ONLY after pasting first into WORD, then recopying from Word.
I think it gets more complicated than even that - that is why I listed 'complex' along with 'paradoxical' and that is where I have to owe you further 'detail'.

If the original email has the image actually embedded into it you will be able to copy and paste it without a problem.  If the image is really only linked to it, then you may have difficulty.

Have you tried saving the images to an alternate location and then just embedding it from there?

[Sebastian42]

I am talking about emails in Outlook Express - so emails stored locally, not necessarily able to acces the internet for embedded links.

Try this...right clik any image in an email you want to save...select Save As...and give it a destination folder...if it won't save then it's out there somewhere on the web which means you need to have the sender re-send it...

Thank you for offering a 'workaround'; my querry was directed to getting a grasp of COPYING, rather than 'SAVING AS' (which I HAVE tried).

Quantos - I had not answered you - but the above is applicable.

Umm, that is actually what I was talking about.

In OE, emails are stored locally, but they can contain links to external images.

<<In OE, emails  can contain links to external images.>>
Wouldn't those links be text - 'hyperlinks' - rather than graphics ?

[Quantos]

They would be seen as the image rather than looking like a hyperlink though.  If the link is broken that's when you see the red x in a white square.

Let met get this right - are you saying that emails in Outlook Express, when the PC has gone off-line, can show images that REALLY are only links ?

I'm not talking about images that are stored in a server on the internet, more of a case that they have been moved on the local computer, and are just no longer where they are expected to be.
