Copy and Paste Fails to Work
I have gotten off the chat with Microsoft's support about this issue already. Essentially, whenever I copy a section of my file and try to paste, I only have the unformatted unicode text option. There are no other paste options that are available. We have gone through all the usual processes:
- Verifying that the Cut-Copy-Paste options all show "Keep Source Formatting"
- Delete all registries for Word
- A full re-install of Office (twice), with re-installs as well.
This issue also exists in Excel technically too, so it's not just one application. Problem started about 1 week to 1 1/2 weeks ago. Any insights are more than welcome at this point.
No worries - I unfortunately had to bite the bullet and create a new profile on my computer. It works fine now, but I had to do a lot of resetting of my settings. I am closing this post now. Thank you!

- I should add that the issue exists also in Safe Mode - this was something else that I checked
- Can you save samples of a source and destination file on OneDrive or DropBox and post a share link here?
Is this all files or just one, or something in between?Here's a link to an example document: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AsCEpuiCi95NiJgLInh5ubFoSvXGIA?e=t9QhwG
I'm experiencing this issue in all of my Word documents currently, whether I'm copying and pasting within the same document or to another document.
