Add a ContextMenuStrip Control and add the Copy/Cut/Paste menu items, assign it to the RichTextBox. Add the code for the menu items Click event, for Paste it would be:

rtb.Paste()

If the user has copied an image to clipboard it will be pasted into the RichTextBox.

How about something like

Dim img As Image = Image.FromFile("C:\image.jpg")

Clipboard.SetImage(img)
Me.RichTextBox1.Paste()

*confused* If you copy an image from a Word file you won't be using your program...you will be using Word itself.

When an image is copied from Word or a webpage for example the Paste method will paste the image into the RTB. If the user copies a image file in Windows Explorer then the clipboard will contain the path for that image. You can use the Clipboard object to examine what content it has, for example with the ContainsImage and ContainsFileDropList methods.
