Hi, whenever I paste text from word/power point to illustrator, I always get gibberish symbols like these: !"#$%. The object is recognized as characters in the Illustrator, and I can change its font type and size.
Pasting chart however works fine.
I have tried using different fonts, including those who I have made sure are available in the Illustrator but I still get the same result. I have also tried resetting preferences, uninstalling the program, uninstalling creative cloud, cleaning adobe installation using adobe cleaner tools, yet I am still getting the same problem.
My system is Mac Mojave, with Office 365 Subscription, and Adobe Creative Cloud (trial version)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Change the font being used in the PP or word file to something other than Calibri like Times New Roman and try again.

Do you have any third party extensions installed in the system that enhance the clipboard?
Is there an option in Word to copy text-only?
Can you try different settings for the clipboard in the Illustrator preferences (in the File handling & clipboard section)? Maybe turn off the SVG option.
