How do I copy a photo into a word document. Can't do this with the photos app?

Hi, I've always been able to copy a photo from iPhoto into a word document.

I can no longer do this with photos app.

I have tried cutting and pasting and also trying to import directly from word but never work.

I am sure there is no coincidence that another software I used (Comic Life) is no longer compatible with Photos app.

Really frustrating.....please can someone help!
