OneNote 2013 - Cannot paste images

Hello! I have a issue with copying\pasting images in OneNote.

Example: I have an image on OneNote page. Then i copy or cut image to clipboard. When i try to paste image to any OneNote page, only blank space inserts instead of copied image. 

When i try to paste the same copied image from onenote to paint or word, for example, it works nice.

Copying\pasting from word\paint to onenote works nice. Text copied as expected.  

Only copying from OneNote to the same OneNote app fails regardless of OneNote page\notebook.. 

OneNote 2013 (15.0.4535.1507) 32bit.

Hi Steve! Of course, i've tried both key shortcuts and right-click.

And here we are, where problem arises: i don't have any paste options except from just "Paste" when copy image from onenote TO onenote!

I'm using OneNote 2013 on Windows 7.  I have tried everything including uninstalling it and re-installing OneNote.   When I paste an image I get a box with a red x in upper left corner.  

I have spent more than 20 hours trying to get OneNote 2013 to allow me to paste an image and have not been able to.

Please, please help.

As a follow up to my comment immediately above.  I can paste an image into Microsoft Word.  (Can't in OneNote.)
