Paste Special and unwanted Black border

When a user copies a image and then does a paste special as a jpeg in
a Word Document it pastes it okay but it has a unwanted black border
thats not needed, I have tried formatting it but it will not go away -
any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried Format | Picture | Lines and Colors: No Line?

I'm only relaying what MVP Thomas Löwe posted today in a German group:

In Word 2003, the picture editor only supports Metadata picture formats
(WMF, EMF). BMP, JPEG, GIF, etc. aren't supported anymore.

That means, if you need to edit a picture, you either do that in a
specialized picture editor SW *before* pasting into Word, or you convert
the BMP, JPEG, etc. picture via the clipboard: Cut, Edit | Paste
special, and select a Metadata format.

So far, this works for me here.
