I can't cut and paste text from Word to whatsapp any more

For some reason I can no longer cut and paste text from Word to the desktop version of whatsapp. Does anyone know why? Just reading on some forums and it seems to be a common problem atm. I can cut and paste from Word to other apps (Apple Notes for example) which suggests it isn't a Word clipboard problem. I can also cut and paste from Apple Notes to whatsapp - so the problem seems to be BETWEEN Word and whatsapp. Any suggestions? I'm on Monterey 12.4, latest version of whatsapp, latest version of Word

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

I just noted this problem. Here are some additional tests and comments.


This is only happening copying and pasting from MS WORD to WhatsApp (desktop).


You can copy and paste from anywhere else like a post it note or any other source.


The clipboard shows the same text in "RTF" format on the clipboard but just won't paste from MS WORD to WA


Copy and pasting from MS EXCEL works.


Font does not seem to effect this. (again everything I test show up the same way on the clipboard)


This does not appear to be IOS version dependent - I am running 10.15.7 and other have later versions with no difference.
