Windows 10: Word 2016 Pasting problem

Great *Thumbs glad it worked!

 

I am running Office 365 Version 1708 Build 8431.2242 and am having a problem pasting pictures into a Word document, the text pastes OK. The source of the pictures/text is a web page (Mozilla Firefox).
The strange thing is if I paste the text and pictures into a new Outlook message, this works. If I then try pasting
the text/pictures into a Word document it works!
Any help would be appreciated.

Copy/Paste between Office 2016 apps broken

Running Windows 10 pro Build 15063.205 and Office 2016 latest build. I have always, in the past, before build 15063.138 been able to select a group of cells in excel copy with Ctrl C and paste into an outlook mail with Ctrl V.

After the update to build 15063.138 it is no longer possible to copy/paste between Office 2016 apps. i.e. Excel to Outlook, Excel to Word etc.. There is no problem doing a copy/paste inside a single app i.e. Excel/excel, word/word, outlook/outlook.

When trying to copy/paste between Excel to Outlook or Word, I get a dialog box informing there was a problem and the app will be closed. Also states if there is resolution to the problem I will be informed.

Done a repair of office; not resolved.

Windows Insider team acknowledges the report of the issue. I have read other post for the same problem on the insiders hub.

Anybody have suggestion other than do an Office repair?

News Flash!!!! been on phone with Office support for a while. The problem is with Last Office update. They are escalating the issue.

Windows 10 Copy & Paste--Is there a fix or patch to restore this capability?

On 5/25/16, I spoke with Microsoft technicians and advised them that copy/paste only works on my Windows 10 after a complete shut down and start up. I was advised to do this every time. I said no, need a permanent fix, so the technician uninstalled and reinstalled
Windows 10 on my system, checked and optimized my system assuring it was virus-free. Copy/paste worked for awhile, then stopped. Still have the problem.

After clicking the 3 dots in the upper right corner and selecting Open with Internet Explorer, I have tried to:

--paste a print screen (copied from the internet) into Office Professional Plus 2016 Word document--failed with both right click+paste and control+c and control+v. Took a print screen of this question,
was successful in pasting it into an Office Professional Plus 2016 Word document.

--copy a url from Office Professional Plus 2016 Outlook paste into my browser--failed with both right click+paste and control+c and control+v

--copy text from within this very box and paste it right here--failed with both right click+paste and control+c and control+v

--copy text from within this very box and paste it into a Notepad document--failed with both right click+paste and control+c and control+v

--copy text from a Notepad document and paste it here--failed with both right click+paste and control+c and control+v.

--copy text from a website and paste it here--failed with both right click+paste and control+c and control+v

--copy text from a Office Professional Plus 2016 Word document into here--failed with both right click+paste and control+c and control+v

Hello, Houston, we have a problem! Any ETA on the fix?

 

Hi Bowlsys.

I would open Word, File, Options, Advanced, Cut, copy and paste section, Pasting from Other Programs.

I'll bet when you post into Outlook some formatting changes which allows it to be pasted in Office. Might try changing option to Merge Formatting.

Thanks for your reply Ken, have tried your suggestion but still failing

 

Hmmm.

Okay if you copy some text, then go to word. Click on Paste arrow (Just below word Paste), one option should be Paste Special. Mine comes up HTML format.

What does your say?

Have you tried with AV disabled?

 

Any chance you are BitDefender or Windows Controlled Folder Access ?

 

What settings do you have under Options /Advance / Copy and paste section? Here are mine, check yours, if there is something strange..

 

Check out this thread at superuser… Could be about security level in internet options. Strange, but who knows…

Edit: and here is another interesting site about graphics from web: wordfaqs.ssbarn | InvisibleGraphics

 

Ken, did as you suggested , all options are as yours. Not running BitDefender
AndreTen , again all my options are as yours, but changing the internet option worked! , many thanks
