HCL Connections Ideas Portal
Welcome to the HCL Connections Product Ideas Lab! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by the HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.

Hi,
we investigated this together with Tiny to get to the bottom of it. In order to allow users to copy an image (with or without text flowing around it) from within the active editor window to another app, we would have to make significant changes to the security procedure around what app has access to server resources.
When copying an image from within the editor, only the URL is copied and the other app (e.g. Word) would have to be granted access rights to the Connections server resource to pull that image. Given that there is a very simple work around, we will not implement this change.
Work around:
Instead of trying to copy the image while in the active edit session, close the editor and copy the image or image-and-text from the Wiki view and paste it into your app of choice (e.g. Word).
This works well and should not put too much burden on the end user.
