Cannot copy from Word and Paste into Whatsapp

Hello, starting a couple of weeks ago, I can no longer copy text in Word on my Mac and paste it into the WhatsApp desktop version. It comes out blank. Unless I first paste it into the Text Edit app, then copy it from there and paste it into WhatsApp, which works fine, but is too much trouble for every day use. What is going on?


How can I fix this?


Thank you!

Copy from MS Word to TextEdit and then from TextEdit to WhatsApp


These is a Formatting issue within Word that WhatsApp can not handle


Better still, compose the intended text for WhatsApp in a Plain Text Editor
