When I Copy an image with the Snipping Tool (built into Windows 10) and paste into a Word document, then highlight the image, then press F9 (Calc), Word makes the image unreadable and the embedded image is replaced with the following message: ‘The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.’ It feels like somehow Word thinks the image being pasted is a link to a file. How can I embed the image so that recalcing all fields (Ctrl+A, then F9) in the document will not destroy the image?

Unbelievable, but I can duplicate what you describe. However, when I paste-in from the Snipping Tool, this doesn't happen. Are you pasting using anything else than just Ctrl+V? Do you edit first the image in any way? – harrymc – 2019-11-26T16:14:43.393
Hi Harry, Thanks for your effort. Now I cannot seem to duplicate the problem. The problem is evident in the file that I showed you, however, when I copy an image from the Snipping Tool and paste it into that same Word document, F9 does not seem to destroy the graphic. So, something must be happening to that file after I paste the image to cause the problem. I will research and carefully and post again here. I may need some time. – Keith Howard – 2019-11-26T18:14:49.950
Perhaps a one-time occurrence caused by a missed click. (Add to your comment
