I am still on Firefox v. 11. I have installed later versions, and reverted back to v. 11, because all the later versions did not allow me to copy and paste images/pictures from emails. Did Firefox correct this problem definitively in their latest version?

Yes, the macro works when there is a single bitmap on the clipboard. When you copy HTML with multiple embedded images and paste as HTML, Word should try to re-create the webpage contents (although fonts are not likely to be the same).
You can enable the Developer toolbar in Word 2010 and try using the recorder feature. The recorder can record menu selections, dialog actions, and keystrokes, but not mouse clicks that don't trigger one of those. Studying the recorded macros, you can start to get an idea of how Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is written. There's reasonably good help if you select a function, property, or object name and press F1. There's also a hierarchical object browser (F2) so you can see a list of, say, all the different values that property can have. Since VBA is an older technology, you might find some used books on it. The ones I have date back to the late 90s.
But I digress... back to Firefox.

I am downright pleased about learning a couple of new things today as I implemented the "special paste" & "macro creation" instructions - thx a lot. I used to create complex macros in Lotus 123 (I still have access to it on my XP using DOS) a couple of decades ago, but those were the times when software cos. provided comprehensive manuals from which one can learn if one is so inclined. Times/developments have passed me by, and I do not even recognize the language you have used to create the macro. I have tried copying multiple pics (i.e. the whole email) using the newly created macro, but I suppose it only works/copies images on a one to one basis.

If Microsoft and/or Firefox are listening, hopefully it will be possible one day to directly copy/paste a whole email into Word, rather than having to do it piecemeal of text and pics. That would be a jump in productivity. What I have just discovered is, and is presumably already widely known, to save the email (only the text and images, and not the surrounding clutter), click file > save as “file name” & “web page, complete” into a, say, download folder. Then open the saved file, highlight only the desired text and pictures, and the whole thing can be copied/pasted into Word. That should save some time.
