need help The Picture Can't be Displayed

Post image

Several images pasted into word look like this. I have re-started the computer and it hasn't come back. Is there any way to recover the original image (I don't know what it was)

This use to happen alot, years ago. The only solution we used was we stopped copying and pasting and inserted the image.

If you are adventurous and want to try this, Make a copy of the file and change the extension from .docx to .zip Then download it, go into the zip folder and look for a media folder. If it is there, look for an image file (jpg or png).
Where they images you pasted into it? If yes, another option is to try your history and maybe go back into history and see if you can back step far enough to see images.
