Default Image Paste Format

Hi All... I'm a web developer. Our application has a requirement to be able to right-click and copy an image from the browser and paste it into a Word doc. These images aren't typical "jpg" files stored on a server - they're being served out of a database using an asp.net (aspx) web page with dhtml, ajax, etc...

We've observed that we can copy/paste an image into a doc under Word 2003 / XP with no problem.

However it doesn't work under Word 2007 / Vista. When we paste, we see the little circle spin for a bit, but no image. When hightlighted, there's a place holder for it, but it doesnt display. We can paste into Paint and Wordpad with no problem.

Furthermore, we've found that when we use Paste Special and select a bitmap format, it works. If we select the HTML formate, it doesn't work - the conclusion is that the regular paste uses the HTML format, eh?

Is there any way to change the image format used by the regular paste to use a bitmap format?

Many thanks... -- Curt
