When you paste a picture from the Web, you're just pasting a link to the
picture's online location. There are two ways around this:
1. The quick and dirty way is to paste the picture, then select it and press
Ctrl+Shift+F9 immediately to unlink it. This embeds the picture in the
document.
2. A better way, which makes the picture available to other documents (and
to this one should anything untoward happen to it) is to save the picture in
your My Pictures folder. Right-click on the picture on the Web page and
choose Save Image As. You should be able to save it as a JPEG or GIF
(whichever it is). If .bmp is your only option, then you need to clear your
file cache. In Internet Explorer, select Tools | Internet Options. On the
General tab, under "Temporary Internet Files," click on Delete Files...
