Description

When trying to copy a cross-reference (special field) in MS Word and paste it somewhere else in the document it comes back with an error inside the MS Word app itself. For example, if I copy Figure 1 as a cross-reference and try to paste it, MS Word would paste Error! Reference source not found.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open MS Word.
2. Insert a figure or table caption
3. insert a cross-reference of the caption
4. copy and paste the cross-reference with Maccy

Could it be because you have a "Remove formatting by default" enabled? It would paste from Maccy without extra metadata.

[MIsmlAhmed]

No, I tried turning that off and still the problem remains.

@MIsmlAhmed Can you please record a small screencast showing how to add cross-reference and how Maccy breaks its pasting. Also, what version of Word do you use?

[MIsmlAhmed]

Here's a gif that shows the steps. I am using office 365.

@MIsmlAhmed I don't see where you'd load Maccy and copy/paste from it. How exactly is Maccy used in your scenario?

[MIsmlAhmed]

It's already loaded in my system and I use the regular copy/paste shortcut.

[p0deje]

Does the pasting work when you quit Maccy?

[MIsmlAhmed]

Yes
