Outlook Excel preview, can't use keyboard arrows, copy or select in the Excel preview.

When I get an Excel file on mail in Outlook and preview it, I can't use keyboard arrows, copy (Ctrl +c/v) or select(Ctrl +a) in the Excel preview ( was able 2 days ago).

Till then, I try to restart my computer, change my keyboard, clean my Outlook cache, look for any options for that but I can't find any.

Compared all options with the colleague sitting next to me (because on him it works normally)

It works normally for example in Word file preview.

I can use mouse and right-click/copy and select it with it, but can't use my keyboard in excel previews...

Tried turning off antivirus, macros, add-ons, update outlook...

Are there any simple options that I didn't find for that, or do I need to reinstall Outlook?

Hi All,

The issue has been fixed in latest Office update.
Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2212 Build 16.0.15928.20196) 64-bit

This is not even close to a reasonable alternative for productive efficient workers who's day is packed with real work that need this feature.

I hear ya. Bring it back. I like the keyboard function better. I am struggling with QB online changing the side panel menu changes. I HATE it ! Just quit making these stupid changes for the sake of an update.

I too am having the same exact problem! I can't do the Ctrl C to copy text.

I can however right click and copy what I need to copy without actually opening and downloading the excel spreadsheet. It just takes a little longer!

I am hoping that they fix this for the desktop version, That is where I do all my work on.

Same issue here. Tried online repair and SaRA, but no luck.
