Hi kblvgo:

I tried restoring preferences and that didn't seem to solve the problem.

How, exactly, did you reset preferences? If you haven't followed the steps under "Rebuilding the cache files",  be sure to give them a shot.

I will also try to see if indeed there is perhaps a third party app that is affecting this somehow. Not sure how to determine that though...

And are you using a clipboard manager? What operating system are you using?

Hi Frans:

Where is that preference?

I'll bet ya you have set InDesign/Preferences to Paste without formatting...

This problems does not happen on my computer using your file. Works as expected when pasting formatted text.

Have you tried restoring all preferences and default settings?

Hi kblvgo:

I'm not experiencing this issue with the file. 

Next step is to rebuild preferences/cache: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/

Have you try to reinstall indesign to solve this problem?

Also, this problems may occur if you have recently installed a third-party utility

If yes, try to uninstall it and see if you solved the problem

Do you want to share the file so that we can take a look?

~Barb 

do you paste without formatting perhaps?

when you paste do yo use "command + V" or "command + shift + V" ("ctrl + V" or "ctrl + shift + V" on pc)?

Does this happen when copying from one document them pasting in another, copying and pasting within the same document, or both? Does this happen with all documents or only some documents? Have you tried deleting preferences?
