Paste a screenshot in word 2007

[Guest]

Now and again when I paste a screenshot into a Word document, most of the
image is missing, like it's been seriously cropped. If I paste the same shot
into a New document it's fine? This appears to be totally random and I can
only think it has something to do with the set-up of the document? Anyone?

If what you see is a horizontal stripe of the bottom of the picture, the
same height as a line of text, then the probable cause is that you pasted
into a paragraph that has its line spacing set to an Exact value. In the
Paragraph group of the ribbon, click the dialog launcher (the little arrow
in the lower right corner) and set the line spacing to At Least.

If it's not that, can you describe it better? Is it always the same size,
the same part of the picture, or does it vary? Does it help to paste the
screen shot into a graphics editor (e.g., Paint), save it as a file, and use
Insert > Picture to bring that into Word?
