Q: 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!

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    I tried opening Photos.  I can see the icon for iPhoto Library and for Photo library but both are grayed out.  Is there a solution to importing a photo from Photos to a Word Doc?  I did not see it in this thread.

     

    Not a fan of this "improvement" from Apple!

    Try reading the thread - there are two answers - both work

     

    Using Photos

    You could drag and drop the photo to the desktop and then into word (won't be the original) or Export modified or original from the menus, but what was once easy will currently take a few more steps.

    and

     

    Using Word

     

    Insert Menu -> Photos -> From Browser
