Thanks for your reply.

I can paste if I do as suggested and save the images 1st, then copy and paste into the document. I would like to bypass this procedure and copy/paste directly. Is there any way to do this?

IIRC, you've to save the page on your HD, open it (from the HD location) and then copy/paste. You can also use the Firefox extension Scrapbook to do that within Firefox.

There is a link to a bug report in that thread: [Poll] Pasting content (pictures) from web. You should subscribe and vote for it (up to 2 votes per issue).
