When I Copy an image with the Snipping Tool (built into Windows 10) and paste into a Word document, then highlight the image, then press F9 (Calc), Word makes the image unreadable and the embedded image is replaced with the following message: ‘The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.’ It feels like somehow Word thinks the image being pasted is a link to a file. How can I embed the image so that recalcing all fields (Ctrl+A, then F9) in the document will not destroy the image?

I can confirm the issue. I copied an image from outlook into word and F9 leads to issue "The linked image cannot be displayed.". As workaround I copy the image from word to paint.net and back into word, then the issue is resolved. There seems to be an obscure connection between Outlook images and word, which leads to the broken images on update with F9.
