It's best to Place text (and images).

Copy/paste from one InDesign document to another? If it is text from a word file it should rather be placed, as Derek said.

We need far more details to be able to suggest anything useful.

 

OS, version of InDesign? "Copy-paste", from what to what? Does it work in other programs? Does clearing your preferences work?

It's resolved now. I don't know how but it didn't work for 3 days only on INDD CC 2019, OS High Sierra. 😕
