Copy Paste from webpage to word document fails to copy images correctly

While copying text and pictures from a webpage article, only the text and the first picture or image or graph is being pasted in all the subsequent image place-holders (not the actual image that appeared in each place-holder on the webpage).
I am using Windows XP and Word 2007.
If I try to copy and paste the entire text and images directly to Wordpad, then only the text appears (not any image at all).
However, I can copy each image SEPARATELY from the web to Wordpad, and then copy to Word doc. Or save each image into Pictures folder, and then insert it into Word doc.
I could not find any solution on the web, please.
Kindly diagnose the reasons for the same, and suggest an effective remedy: creative.versatile@yahoo.com
