How to copy a temporary edit image with changes to another application?
#2
Quote:My usage is just some simple photo editing like adding an arrow or delete some area of the photo.

All very straight forward. There are Gimp plugins to make arrow or pre-made Gimp brushes.

Quote:Here is my photo. My step is to use [Rectangle Select Tool] and click [Delete].

I do not really understand that. A more usual procedure is with the Crop tool. However you can make a selection, then invert the selection, then delete the selection,  leaving what was originally selected area. Then Select -> None Not the best way,

Quote:When I use [Rectangle Select Tool] to copy the edited photo to Microsoft Word, I find that the photo is not edited.

It might be in PhotoImpact that making a selection automatically copies to the clipboard. Not in Gimp
Either  Select -> All  Or  make your selection with one of the selection tools.
then  Edit -> Copy to copy to the clipboard.
Now you can paste (maybe) This Win10 / Gimp 2.10.30 and MS Office.

   

Are you using a local MS Word or is it a 'Cloud' application ? It might make a difference.

If stuck then once copied, Edit -> Paste as -> New Image 
Does what it says. Then Export that new image as a png or jpeg and use that as a file import in MS Word.
