Excel Color Fill DIsappears after Cut and Paste into Word Document

When I cut a table from Excel (that has some cells with color fill) and paste that table into a Word document, the color fill in the cells is not transferring.  The color fill disappears.  I have not had this problem in the past, so some setting I may have accidentally changed.  Can anybody help with this?

    This issue might be related to the default paste options in Word.

    By default, Word preserves the original formatting when you paste content into a document using CTRL+V, the Paste button, or right-click + Paste.

    To change the default, follow these steps: Go to File > Options > Advanced.

     Under Cut, copy, and paste, select the down arrow for the setting to change.

     

     

    Hope I was able to help you with this info.
