    I’d recommend that everyone having thus issue goes to File > Feedback and send a frown, putting your details in the section and start it [Can’t Copy Paste]

    Also what version is everyone in who’s having this problem ? File > Account

    It will read something like

Copy and paste does not work in my excel either!   Hint: the copied cell has text with greek letters inserted via the windows character map.

Hi

 

I have only experienced this issue (and many others) since  the company moved to Win 10-  Office 365 - Office 2016

I have to say since we have made this move, i have more issues than i have ever experienced going right back to win 3.1, and before.

The only solution I have found the works is save the file close it & open again.

I raised this isse with our retained IT maintanance  company have been unable to succesfully find a solution.

It obviously something wrong with excel in its latest version.

 

Just a note

One of my other laptops I have left with, win 7 in & the previous office, I as yet have not experienced this issue, ever.

p.s. since i rolled the last windows 10 update back, due to it interefering with Photoshop I experience "cant copy & paste" a lot less!

 

Regards
