Pasting an Instagram Direct Message to Writer I can get either formatted HTML with text hidden in black box, or only text

How can I paste both HTML images and the text from an Instagram Direct Message? I tried all the special paste options, but I get black boxes with orange lines instead of text.
OS: Windows 10

Forgive an ol’timer like me. What is an “Instagram DM”? Write plain words for DM, thanks.

“Black boxes with orange lines” look like a placeholder for some data. Is View>Images & Charts enabled?

Otherwise to get ad-hoc help, edit your question (without using a comment) to give more details on what you’re doing (we can’t see you) and mention OS name, LO version and save format. In particular, tell us from which application you’re copying, some web browser like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, …?
