I copy/pasted a full sized 7Mp JPG into WordPad and it worked fine. But there doesn’t seem to be any way to resize the picture in WordPad without picking up extreme artifacts, so it wouldn’t work very well for your purposes. You will have to resize the image before putting it into WordPad, but first you have to solve the workflow problem that is causing the image to not display.
I’ve tried several different approaches to pasting JPGs into WordPad and they all worked. I even copied a file directly from Windows Explorer and pasted it.
Maybe you could be more specific about your workflow. What program is the image displayed in when you right click on it and select Copy?
Wordpad would be low on my list of programs to do that job, but I made a little brochure with a couple of photos and text. It looks fine if you don’t want anything fancy. I’m guessing you just want to get the job done without learning a new program, so let’s figure out how to get the images pasted.
I would resize the images down to about 700 pixels on the longest side before pasting. You can easily make minor adjustments to the size without a lot of distortion if you start with a decent size.
