SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to paste a picture that you copy from a Web site into Microsoft Encarta Researcher, the picture may appear as a blank or gray box.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs due to the design of the Web site. The blank or gray box may actually be a table that has a background color. JavaScript code places the image inside a table, so that when you copy the image, only the table is copied, but not the image inside the table.

MORE INFORMATION

There is no known work around for this behavior. This method of formatting pictures on a Web site is sometimes used to prevent the reuse of images that are covered by copyright or other agreements.
