I have been cut and pasting from EXCEL to PPT (Office 365) for months without problems until today. It won't paste, and I get the above error message. I have reserached the problem, quick repaired, long repair, and nothing works. This is a daily part of my work life - Please HELP ME fix this problem. Pasting as a picture is NOT an option.
Windows 7, OFFICE 365. Thank you. Maureen Monte

Try again, it's working for us now!!
Hi Neha,
Thanks for checking on this issue. After working with my IT department along with someone at Microsoft, we figured out that the issue came from my profile, (we used a new profile and the issue was gone) Do you know what I can do to fix this other than creating a new profile?
Thanks,
Garret
Hi Garret,
Did you try updating Office? Are you still getting the same issue?

Hi Garret,
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, I did test with error.xlm and Presenation1.pptx files you provided in private message and I still can’t reproduce the issue. I used both the options i.e. Use Destination Styles or Keep source formatting.
There’s a new version released for Monthly Channel (Targeted), I’ll suggest you update Office and then check the result. To know how to install Office updates, please see Install Office updates.
After updating Office, if you still encounter the same error, please reply and let me know the current Office version.
Thanks,
Neha
Hi Neha,
Any update on this? I am still having this issue.
Thanks,
Garret
