Thanks to those who replied.

Actually I'm somewhat guilty of not specifying my problem precisely...
my main requirement is not to copy into Word (or a normal text editor
app) but rather into a Wordpress blog post. So actually I would rather
have a solution that allows me to quickly copy+paste a JPG, PNG or GIF
image into my post (being edited using an online rich text editor -
TinyMCE - which generates the required html), rather than have to
convert first. Some people suggested using Edit > Copy As > PDF in
Mathematica, which works for Word, although I have to use Paste
Special instead of just Paste in Word. However this is not a viable
option for embedding an image into HTML.
