Hi @Sheri Mellville ,

 

ServiceNow rich text editor doesn't fully support copy pasting of images into Word documents due to how images are embedded and referenced. Below workarounds you can follow:

 

1. Use the Printer Friendly View

One effective workaround is to click the gear icon in the article, select Printer Friendly Version, then copy from that view or save it as a PDF. This approach retains images in a more stable format.

 

2. Use Screenshots Instead of Direct Copying

You can capture images using a screenshot tool (like Snipping Tool, SnagIt, or built-in tools) and paste them directly into Word. Alternatively, share the article's permalink to allow SME collaboration directly in ServiceNow.


3. Copy Paste via Word: especially helpful for complex or formatted articles...

Copy content in sections from Word.

When prompted, choose Remove Formatting to avoid import issues.

Insert blank lines using Shift + Enter.

Paste screenshots of images (using a screenshot tool) into those placeholders.

 

If you found my response helpful, please mark it as ‘Accept as Solution’ and ‘Helpful’. This helps other community members find the right answer more easily and supports the community.
