I have an image in Word 2016 and wanted to paste it into LO. If I do a CTR+A in Word, and then paste into LO, it works. If I copy from Word and paste in LO, nothing appears.
Please explain what works (Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C?) and what not (Ctrl+C?). When submitting a bug, you need to be specific so that anyone reading this is able to understand and reproduce. Is this a duplicate of Bug 35176?

Ahhh... sorry... it was Áron who told me to file the bug. If I have a Word 2016 document and insert a picture into it and want to copy/paste the image into LO, two things happen: 1) If in Word I press CTR+A (select all) and then CTR+C (copy) and on LO CTR+V (paste), the image gets pasted into LO. 2) If I click on the Word image and press CTR+C and then go to LO and press CTR+V, nothing happens. Is this clear now? :-)

Does it get pasted? Yes, it does. I usually copy/paste images from Word into PaintShopPro and it has always worked.

This is opposite to Bug 35176, if you looked at it. I don't get image pasted. > 2) If I click on the Word image and press CTR+C and then go to LO and press > CTR+V, nothing happens. True. But I'd still mark this as a duplicate of Bug 35176.
To paste an image copied from a Word document (by menu or shortcut), Ctrl+V would not be the correct paste action. IIUC you need to paste special as "GDI metafile" into any LO module--except draw/impress which will take it by default as a GDI metafile (with Ctrl+v) but alternatas a Bitmap via paste special. Of course, a copy all (Ctrl+A) paste is picking up formatting applied to the Word page _and_ any image object(s)--so don't use that unless you want to formatting to come across. Try it with the paste special--should give you the result you want.

Paste special GDI blah blah worked, but I believe it shouldn't be that way. I have been pasting images from PaintShopPro, PDF documents and Firefox (HTML pages) and they all work with CTR+V. How come Word images have to be different? It works with everything except Word?
Well sorry, but pasting works. So -> Enhancement Summary adjusted. From UX perspective: is forcing users to Paste special for selected images correct UI? And, what is being passed across clipboard when just an image is selected? Seems the default Ctrl+V clipboard logic needs attention, and was not quite correct with https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=46e03df0a7471a887e7cf403765b4de3582d9a1e @Andrzej, * any comment on Luke's https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81835#c8
This is a bug, actually a regression as it worked in 4.4, but was fixed 4.4 with: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/sot/source/base/formats.cxx?id=538c13f3d1756f2d105115f64ab1bc0b7426eebc It was then broken again by: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a96a7ce51aa98fb9ee97ea3803e2b7e648611008 Miklos fixed the Excel -> Writer variant of this in Bug 115574
Created attachment 144992 [details] Word doc with an image I hid some noise caused by a lack of a steps to reproduce in the description. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In a MS Word document with an image, select it 2. CTRL+C 3. In Writer, New document 4. CTRL+V Note this is about copying images only. Bug Bug 35176 is about images + content.

This bug is a dupe of Bug 99507 which has a much clearer description of the problem.
@Heiko, You assigned yourself a duplicated bug. Did you want to assign yourself bug 99507 instead ?
