Copy from Illustrator to Word
can't copy Text from Illustrator to word (presumably since cc 2017). The paste is always empty.
CC 23.0.1/Win 10

A workaround to this would be to Paste with Keep Text Only.
It seems like Microsoft Word just can’t handle the format Illustrator uses and which many other apps are completely OK with reading.
I’m pretty sure it’s more a Microsoft’s problem than Adobe’s, but I am even more sure it’s up to them to make a consensus about that, than it’s our users’ problem.
Definitely a bug. -

This has been very frustrating. This is a feature I used regularly for years. I was hoping the issue would be resolved with updates, but now using 2020 (Win 10) and it's still an issue. This is a feature I use often in my job, but now have to retype everything in Word which is very time consuming and can potentially lead to errors since much of what I copy and paste includes technical terms and ingredient names that can't be spell-checked.
