Copying and Pasting from Word to OneNote

Hi folks,   I'm trying to copy text and pictures from a Word doc to OneNote (UWP), and only the text comes across. I can't see any suitable options under Paste to change the format of what's pasted...

    What if you do another document and just try to copy it once straight into OneNote?

I discovered that if I copied the text from Word to a new Word document, copied it again, and pasted to OneNote, it worked.

 

I'm not sure why it wouldn't paste the first time, but a workaround at least.

      adam deltinger Just tried that and it works. Odd! Not sure why the original document wasn't passing across the images.

        No idea really! Maybe It just gave up life 🙂
