To sum up the problem:
When copying any text in InDesign, the *Windows* clipboard becomes empty even if there was anything.
However, it is possible to paste *into InDesign* any text from InDesign and any other text from outside of InDesign.
Resetting settings using Ctrl-Shift-Del at InDesign start and changing settings “Copy/paste in PDF format” didn’t help.

Tell us more about your system: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using. I experience no problems on my Macintosh.
