Is anyone else experiencing a problem trying to paste into excel from LC8?
No problems pasting same clipboard text to other programs.

Could you describe the problem in more detail, please? It'll make it easier for people to check whether they're running into the same issue that you are!

The error ("Microsoft Excel cannot paste the data") occurs when I copy any text to the clipboard as text in LC8 the attempt to paste it in an excel spreadsheet. The paste text button in excel on the toolbar is also dimmed indicating that I cannot paste text. Only paste special works. I have to paste special in excel and choose text or html or unicode. All of these work as expected if set as the clipboard type.
In LC 7.1.3 I did not have to do this. I could directly paste text from the clipboard into excel instead of having to use paste special.

Curious if this is being addressed. I'm having the same issue and behavior w/ LC Community 8.1 on Win 7?
