eugene.ilyin CreditAttribution: eugene.ilyin as a volunteer and at DrupalJedi commentedI've got the same problem on my project.
After investigation I've found that we should not only have special plugin for CKEditor to handle images from Word but also the functionality to save file into the Drupal. I don't think that we should put code to save file into the ckeditor module. And I've made new separate module for this functionality - Image from Word.
It's already tested on my project and works perfect. You can try it easily.
