Ms Word 2013 logo

Calling ‘copy-paste’ an integral part of outside life wouldn’t be an exaggeration, would it? Most of us would agree that we do it very often every day, often across multiple devices. And almost all of that is done in the most basic way: copy the text and paste it where it’s needed. When it comes to images, we may need to be a little more careful.

As for copying text, we know that when we copy a paragraph, its formatting will appear. And, we have also discussed solutions to that in the past.

What about pictures? Well, there’s not much to worry about in terms of the accompanying format. However, when our destination is a tool like MS Word, we need to be sure about the paste options. By default, when you copy-paste or insert an image, the image is aligned with the text (see image below).

This is usually not the desired outcome. Indeed, each time we found ourselves manually adjusting the image and setting it accordingly.
