I usually copy and paste cells from Microsoft Excel to Gmail for work, this was was being pasted as an table of text that I could edit.
Then my computer was reformatted because of some issues and now after trying to use it again for work, I tried copying cells from Excel and pasting it in Gmail as usual, but now the cells aren't being pasted as a table, but as an image, like a screenshot of the cells. Could it be a software I had before or something?
Now the only way I can copy and paste cells from Excel is to go through Word, which adds an extra step.
I tried reinstalling MS Office, and it still didn't work, I'm currently using Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019.

The issue is now resolves for me and back to normal. Just happened today after a restart. Hopefully Google got our message loud and clear.

Yes it is ! I too can confirm that!
In Compose Email window, click on 3 vertical dots (more options @ bottom right corner), and uncheck "Plain Text Mode".

I have the same problem. Interesting detail is that I don't have that problem on another gmail account which works in the same chrome browser and I am using the same excel.
