Wiki - Question: images will not copy to Word or Outlook, Also how do we print from wiki?

Copper Contributor

Hello,

1. How do you print from a wiki document?

2. How do you save a wiki document into a word document?

3. Also noticed I cannot copy and paste my work from a wiki document into another word document without the images showing up blank.

Hello @Hunteil  This sounds like a similar question posted on our answers.microsoft.com site.  https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365admin-mso_teams-mso_o365b/microsoft-...

Hi, i'm also having problems when copying images from Teams Wiki

the images don't copy from Wiki to Outlook or Word, nor they copy to another Teams Wiki that is located in another channel.

@ThereseSolimeno, unfortunately the original post asks two questions.

 

Any idea about the copy/paste-out-of-wiki problem? I am having the same issue.

 

 

(Also, FWIW, the print-from-wiki thread doesn't have a solution for that problem, either; the official response doesn't address it at all.)

Did you ever receive and answer on copying to word images from a wiki page? @ArhMichal 

@Kims3167  Never. They seem to be ignoring the problem. I hope I'm wrong.

A workaround would be doing screenshot of every image, but it's too tedious for anything bigger.

That's too bad @ArhMichal I needed to put information from a wiki page that included images and when I went to paste it in, no images.  ugh.  Thanks for the reply!

Alas, everyone I have spoken with has told me to switch to OneNote.

Here is another thread that ended with "pound sand:"

There is no plan to fix this.

Everyone I've talked with says switch to OneNote notebooks (and I have found OneNote to be quite nice, now that I'm used to it).

Here is another thread where Microsoft says we're deeply sorry you invested so much time in another trash product:

@Hunteil Hi, i was looking for help on the same question today and found this thread, which didn't have an answer.  But I've since worked out that you can copy images out of Teams wiki pages if you open the Team in a browser and view the wiki there.

Wow, @lindak61, that's a nice find! It still won't let me paste into OneNote, but it does paste into MS Paint. 

 

CORRECTION: It does indeed work for OneNote if I right-click on a OneNote page and choose the Paste as Picture (keystroke U) option! Yeeeeeeehaw! THANK YOUUUUUUU

Either way, this still only works from the browser view of the wiki.
