First, you didn't mention what version of XWiki you're using. Then, you didn't mention which WYSIWYG editor you're using. GWT or CKEditor? Then, you can check the HTML (using the browser's inspector) right after you paste the content. The WYSIWYG editor is not filtering images so there can be 3 cases: * there's no img HTML tag because Word doesn't copy the image along with the content. There's nothing we can do in this case. * there is an img HTML tag which has as src attribute a file:// URL. There's nothing we can do in this case also. The image point to your local computer and the editor can't access it in order to upload it * there is an img HTML tag which has as src attribute an HTTP URL. The image should be visible in view mode. * there is an img HTML tag which has as src attribute a Data URI. The image should be visible in view mode.

I have the openoffice server configured to import from word docs and it does quite well. However a direct copy/past from word still loses the images while keeping much of the formatting. This is just how it is, correct? To preserve Word formatting and embedded images, the import process must be used? Or is there a workaround? It's not a show stopper just want to know if I'm missing anything. Possibly a later version of Word would work better, I've tried using 2003 and 2010.
