Eh ... I think this is a mor
MS Office copy operations are notoriously problematic. Microsoft maintains
their own clipboard format, so that when switching to another product the
clipboard must be translated. Other apps may do the same. The translation does
not always go to plan.

In Word, copy an image into the clipboard
In LC message box type
lock the clipboard; put the keys of the rawclipboarddata

"Unable to paste images copied from Microsoft Word on Windows"
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21906
