Word 2013 Copying Images Shows Blank Square

Recently, copying and pasting images from the Internet into my Word or Outlook document/e-mail stopped working.

Instead of showing the actual image, it inserts a white square. This is how it looks (yes, there is an image below):

Note that other pictures are displayed properly. I'm NOT using the option to replace all images with white squares and black lines around them:

A workaround would be saving the image to the disk and then dragging and dropping the file from the explorer into Word. I do not want that since it unnecessarily wastes my time.

Can you tell me why this is happening and how I can make it stop?

To solve this issue in Word 2016, I found Paste Special (Alt + Ctrl + V). This lets you choose to paste as Bitmap.
