I know this is a long shot but since I'm out of ideas I feel I have to at least ask if some of you have encountered something similar. When some of our users copy and paste content from Confluence pages to Word, the images get broken. The steps they take are: * Select (with mouse) an area of a page including image(s). * Copy the selection (either Ctrl-C or right click -> Copy). * Paste the selection in to an empty Word document. For them, everything else gets copied except the images. The thing is, I can't reproduce this behaviour on my computer coherently. The images are broken for me also occasionally (<5 % of times) but generally it works just fine. I haven't been able to find any difference in my computer and theirs. It fails/works in latest Chrome and Firefox and IE 10. We use Office 365 (Word 2012).

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Copy/paste from Confluence to Word breaks images sometimes

Hello Atte, turns out the shot is not that long, there is a logged ocurrence for this scenario, CONF-32637. The user who created the report, Florian, also provided a workaround:

Start>Insert>Insert Content>device-independet bitmap

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! I tried searching for an issue, but apparently failed miserably...

Hi Atte, you mean that the following link did not work?

No, it worked just fine. I tried finding an issue before posting this question, but couldn't find any.
