InDesign paste without formatting not working, anymore

Good afternoon, Community.

In the past, I have had no problem pasting text into my InDesign docs while maintaining my ID font styling. That is, a simple Command-V just replaced the content, while leaving the formatting untouched. At least, that's how I operated in-between Word and ID until recently.

Now, whether I use Command-V, Shift-Command-V, or Shift-Option-Command-V; whether I "Paste without Formatting" or "Paste" or "Paste in Place," I get newly generically styled text. That is, the text formatting matches neither the original Word doc nor my existing ID styling. ID has just randomly selected 16pt Times New Roman Bold and applied that to the incoming text. To be clear, the only fonts being used in this document are Mr Eaves and Korolev Condensed. TNR isn't used anywhere.

Additionally, I understand this silly new flyout menu (the "nudge") is supposed to give me the power to toggle between "with formatting" and "without formatting." However, toggling between the two states in that little menu changes nothing about my pasted text.

For the record: Paste with "All information..." is selected in Preferences.

Specs:
InDesign 18.2.1
Mac OS Ventura 13.3
16Gb RAM

I just reset preferences after the last update.

Thank you!
Matt

Thanks for the response, but that's an irrelevant discussion.

That discussion is clearly regarding the unavailability of the "Paste without Formatting" command, grayed out in the Edit menu. That's not my issue. I can access the command, but it doesn't act as expected.

Check your preferences for Clipboard Handling. I bet it's set to text only rather than All Information.

I might have assumed the same if I'd happened upon this post. But as I shared in the second-to-last sentence, "All information..." is checked.

 

I'll try a complete reinstall and see if it changes anything.
