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 Maureen, I had this issue as well. I came across this thread on technet where a user rolled back their version of Office. I found that helped me as well. Here are the instructions to roll back Office, and here is a list of the recent updates. I rolled back to the latest version 1804 (Build 9226.2156).
Dave, thank you so much. I will try this and let you know how it works out. I don't have time for such frivolities but I can't afford not to - I am SO GRATEFUL!

It did not work - when I ran the last command (to roll back) I got an error message:
I looked into the error message - lots of people having it. I can't imagine what is wrong. Thank you again for trying to help me. I give up. I hate these sorts of things.
