Thanks Jacquelin, I'm still in coding "kindergarten" and need everything spelled out!
Not until you mentioned that the ability to paste elsewhere would depend on the receiving app's ability, did I even think about that. I just go around assuming that everything is supposed to work "right." So "copy img 1" works fine and I can paste into Microsoft Word with no problem. However, my email program, Outlook Express, (also from Microsoft) will not recognize the img being on the clipboard. I had been using Outlook Express to test the pasting, not even thinking that it lacks the ability. And that is the eternal question: "Why would Microsoft program Word with the ability to paste the copy, but not program their email app, Outlook Express, to also paste the copy?" A person could go crazy trying to answer that question, so I won't bother. (and anyway, a lot of people think I'm already half-way there!) Thanks again for helping me figure out what was going on!!
