Goodmorning! thanks for the reply, here are the links:
note: excel file have a macro to copy the area that needed to be pasted, feel free to keep macro disabled if you dont trust it and manually select the whole table( 3-612, D-J)

http://www.martel.it/File_uso_interno/word2010-right.docx
http://www.martel.it/File_uso_interno/word2016-wrong.docx


p.s. i'm worried it could be a problem not related to excel/word, but with the clipboard of windows10  wich maybe is too slow?

 

thanks in advance!

    When opened in a 64bit installation of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, Version 2208 (Build 15601.20148 Click-to-Run) Curret Channel, both the Word2010-right and Word2016-wrong documents appear to be complete and identical with all of the images from teh Excel workbook.

    However, if I try to copy and paste into a Word document in the above version of Office, very few of the images are present in the document.

    I guess the question is, why do you need to move from Excel to Word?

      first part of your reply is suuuper weird! i will do some testing

      btw i need to copy-paste because in the current version of this 'software' we use excel macros to generate a lot of big tables with in-depth data, we paste those tables to a word document with a lot of text and explanations
      basically to make offers in the fastes way possible and with less human-type errors!

      next step will be to pritn a pdf file from excel, skipping word, but there is still a lot of work to do to reach that point!

        It would be possible to create a macro in Word to create the table in Word in the first instance so that copying and pasting from Excel would not be required.
