How do you copy photos from Photos on Macbook Air and paste onto Word doc?

for update help see - Why won't my iPhotos open?

And Word has a media viewer I believe which will allow you to access your Photo library - or you can aways export a photo, place it and then delete the desktop copy

I have lost basic functionality of mouse click "copy and paste" of photos into my word doc too.

With I-Photo I was able to mouse click and “copy" photos out of ‘i-photo’ and "paste" with a mouse click into my Word document

Now that I have upgraded to Yosemite and lost iPhoto and have a new app called "Photo" I have lost that basic functionality.

I need to write reports and include photos taken on my iPhone in the reports...

The upgrade to "photo" from i-photo, has taken a backwards step in user friendliness and lost this basic functionality.

This "work around" is longwinded but will get you out of trouble until Apple (hopefully) fix this basic problem.

Firstly open "photo" and export selected photo to "desktop".

using "finder"

go to word doc and click where you want to insert photo

then insert file using "finder" t see the files on your desktop.

That was how I got a photo out of "photo" and into my word doc.

I think it is rediculous to first import in Photos and then export from Photos to desktop. You have to delete them from photos too otherwise you will be doublestoring your photos. I don't see how this Photo step is helping me.

Apple, why not show me the pictures in the iPhone straight from Finder?

Use of Photos is totally optional and obviously it is ridiculous for you to use it is you do not want to - so why are you being ridiculous? - if you want to import photos from your phone without it use Image capture
