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!!

There is a school of thought that Microsoft products are best avoided.
One of the (many) criticisms levelled against them is that they are
inconsistent: something you
have just discovered.
I cannot recommend enough Thunderbird (email client):
