Is there a 'trick' for pasting images from Gimp into Microsoft Word? Images copied from Gimp (Windows version 2.6.1, but also with the last version I had) don't paste into Microsoft Word (2003). I have no problem pasting them into Microsoft Paint.
I've been pasting them into MS Paint and then copying them and pasting them into Word. Is there any way to eliminate the need for a middleman to re-copy the image? I don't know if this helps, but the Windows XP clipboard viewer (clipbrd.exe) says that Gimp is offering images of type "DIB Bitmap" and "Bitmap". MSPaint is offering "Picture", "DIB Bitmap", "Enhanced Metafile" and "Bitmap". The problem isn't that MS Word doesn't speak Gimp's formats, because Edit|PasteSpecial doesn't have an effect for either clipboard format when coming from Gimp and it works with all three formats when coming from MS Paint. If I run Gimp in --verbose mode it says it's offering image/bmp'. -- Ed S. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
