images fuzzy when pasting into Word 2007

Hi

Great program, and happy user.

Recently, had to stop using Corel PhotoImpact, since Corel stopped supporting it. Switched to PaintShop Pro X4

Running Win 7 64 bit, Office 2007

I have to repeatedly copy and paste from PaintShop Pro X4 into Word 2007.

When I choose the default paste, the pictures are fuzzy in Word

1) this is not a problem with other programs, such as Irfranview, as the source, instead of PaintShop Pro X4.

2) if choose "Paste Special" in Word-->bitmap, pictures are sharp. It is the default paste that is the problem.

3) I do not want to have to use "Paste Special" all the time

This is rather odd, to say the least. Why should the same image captured by the Windows clipboard from PaintShop Pro X4 vs Irfranview behave differently when pasted into Word 2007?

Default paste mode can be in Word 2007/2010 changed in configuration. Btw.

Can you make two screen shots so we can se diference between this two?

EDIT: I tried it and it seens difference is in image DPI resolution. While Irfan set for clipboard 72dpi/96dpi, while PSP set large dpi 200dpi/300dpi...

Hi, thx for reply

I have attached image of word options, and I do not see where I can specify to paste image as a bitmap.

Also attached example of an image pasted via Paintshop Pro and then via Irfanview into the same Word document.

You can see how much fuzzier the Paintshop Pro image is.

BTW, this was not an issue in Corel Photoimpact.

Amusing, due to the upload limits, the screenshot compresses both pictures, and you can't tell the difference between Paintshop Pro and Irfanview. In the original screenshot, the difference is striking.
