You might want to look at the format of what's being pasted.  You could paste
the image into something like WinGIF, save as a BMP, and then reload and paste
that to force the format.

I've had a related problem, where I pasted what had been a BMP from the
clipboard into WfW for a hlp file.  All compiled well, but when you brought
up the file in  winhelp, the graphic did not appear (just the blank space, and
sometimes not that).  Rather than wrestle uselessly with that, I saved the 
image out as a bmp and used the field that inserts the file as a character
in the text.  THAT worked.
