Snip & Sketch copy/paste does not work

Hi Gail. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

To copy a Snipping Tool image is basically an image copy which is not accepted by many editors which cannot process the Bitmap. Alternatively they want us to attach it like a normal image. Are you able to copy the text directly, since copy/paste is intended for text editing?

I think many feel the same way about the Snipping Tool. If you want to report this to Microsoft use the Feedback Hub app in Start Menu where developers are tasked to process consumer feedback. They will not even see it here. This is a tech forums staffed mostly by volunteers trying to help others with your problems.

If you want to post back a Share link from your Feedback here others who see this thread can vote it up and add to it. If you are an Insider I can also vote it up with my MVP badge and track the issue for you.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to choose if I solved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Thanks for your response.  The editor I use (LibreOffice Writer) is able to process images copy/pasted from other sources, including the old "Snipping Tool".  I just don't understand why the same process can't be done from the new "Snip & Sketch".  

Thanks for the tip about the Feedback Hub, I sent in a report.
