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.
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.

Hi All,
Copy/pasting excel cells to Gmail email body worked fine for years.
Now the cells are pasted as an Image instead of actual cells.
This issue started on 08/06/21 , its either a Gmail issue or a office/windows issue.
Same here. I do this every day and I never had issues prior to today.
I usually use Chrome and I also tried Firefox but it's the same.
I believe it's a Gmail issue.
I believe the issue is originated by the latest update of Google Chrome. I am experiencing it on a Mac OS too. But no issue when I open Gmail on Firefox.
Also for the moment I noticed coping first to a google sheet and then to Gmail also worked on chrome.
Hope this helps as a work around.
I have the same issue starting today. I have pasted formated excel tables into Google Workspace (gmail) for years but today it will only paste excel images - ****! This feature is integral to my business quoting system.
I can paste an excel table into gmail if I paste it into Word first, but this is very painful and time consuming. This needs to be fixed immediately.
Same here.
Tried on Chrome, Firefox.
Copy pasting from word works.
It works on my colleague's pc. However, it could be due to a new update/fix that is done. Need a fix for this asap!
