Not able to copy and paste from MS Office to Cisco WebEx Chat

[Sajid Pasha Muhammad]

Hi All,

I am facing a issue where users not able to copy and paste from MS Office(Outlook, Word, Excel ….) to Cisco WebEx Chat.

At the same time Copy and paste works fine from Notepad, browsers etc.. Non MS Office products to WebEx Application.

Thank and Regards

Hi All,

After TS came to conclusion that the issue is triggered due to DLP. After updating the DLP settings issue got resolved. 

Thanks And Regards,

WebEx Server Updates: Check if your WebEx server is running the latest updates. Sometimes, outdated software can cause glitches and compatibility issues.

Clear WebEx Cache: Clearing the WebEx cache might resolve temporary glitches. Refer to the specific instructions for clearing cache based on your WebEx setup.

Hi Muhammad,

Do you mean in a Meeting Chat or in a Webex Space?

Cut and paste should work as expected from any application in a Webex Space chat

Can you please also share the version you are running?

Thanks a lot

Hi Carlo,

Even Cut paste doesn't work.

It's on WebEx App Space.

Version : 43.12.0.28111

Hi,

I have done already, tried reinstalling also different versions but no luck.

Even opened Cisco TAC case, they confirmed nothing from WebEx.

Hi ,

Don't know if it can help but I've encountred a similar issue from word to Whatsapp app for Mac.

Just Upgrading the Word App and all started working again.

I suggest you to try to reinstall Word APP.

Please let me know

Hi,

I have tried already by reinstalling MS office itself.

Hi,

Does copy and paste work with another client such as MS Teams?

Is this issue noticed by all users?

Please let me know

Enabling Markdown with Ctrl+M on Windows before pasting is a handy shortcut for a smoother editing experience.

Markdown is enabled already and paste doesn't work.

Hello  Sajid Pasha Muhammad,

You need to enable Markdown before pasting, the shortcut toggle button is Ctrl+M on Windows

Hi @Blue_Bird 

The above shared solution is different to my issue. It gets copy from MS Office(Outlook,Word,Excel) and there is nothing in the chat after paste. 

[Blue_Bird]

I think...it is a known issue related to webex...
