Pasting images into Photoshop

If you have a .docx file (not .doc), you can duplicate it and rename it to .zip

You can decompress the zip and you will have a folder with all of the .docx content inside, including any images:

The images can then be placed/linked to InDesign, it is always better to link than to paste without a link.

There's a much better method right inside of InDesign. Place the Microsoft Word file with the embedded images into InDesign. In the Links panel, select all of the images. Then use the Links panel menu and choose "Unembed Link" to create images. Be sure to create a folder so they stay together.

Before I learned this trick from "Her Geekness" Anne-Marie Concepcion many years ago, I used to make a PDF, then extract the images.

Copying from Word and pasting into Photoshop is not recommended

I found a fix for that, make the picture as large as you can on the screen the snap shot it. It will give you a 144ppi picture and you can bring it into photoshop to adjust the ppi and size you need. I ask all the time to send the photos separate but they never do.. 🙂

I hope this can be a fix for you as well.

Actually it looks right in terms of size judging from the edges, it's just rotated 90 degrees. This may relate to how it's embedded in Word more than anything else, so check the options there liek not using the orientation tag of the mebedded images (or for that matter not suing they native data in any way at all) and relying on the actual raster data Word creates itself.
