Pasting text into Word from other programs does not work (Mac)
I have recently run into a problem with pasting text from other programs into Word.
Essentially, when I attempt to paste text from other programs (I have tried Excel, Firefox, Chrome, TextEdit, Notes, and Terminal), what pastes into Word is not the desired (copied) text. Instead, the last text that I copied from Microsoft Word is what pastes.
I am able to copy and paste text between other programs without issue. If I copy the text “banana” in any other software, I can paste it into any non-Word software without issues.
This issue persists if I right-click and select “Paste” manually instead of using Command+V
Interestingly, “Paste without formatting” works as expected.
These issues began a few days ago for me. I had previously no problems copying or pasting with Word.
I am running Mac OS 13.6.6. My computer has an Intel chip. My current Microsoft Word is 16.78.3.
