Re: How to copy highlighted text when editing a doc

I have the same problem in Word.  I cleared the cache and tried another browser.  Still unable to select text.  This makes my work complicated!

    Thanks for posting this on our forum, jlacoste.

     

    Can you also try an incognito window as an extra step? 

     

    Are you facing this issue with all Word files and when did you notice this behavior for the first time?

    Had the same issue since yesterday; for me it worked by deleting all cookies. Using Firefox.
    EDIT: 3 hours later and the issue reoccurred.

    Using a Firefox "Private browsing" window did not change anything.  So far, it's happening to all the Word files I worked with.  The problem started yesterday.  I loose a lot of precious time with this bug.  When will things be back to normal?
