Why can't I paste in MS Word?

[Windows Central Question]

Can't paste in MS Word

I'm trying to paste an article from wikipedia, and I recently upgraded to Windows 10.
I can't paste onto word...
And I have tried with the mouse and CTRL+V.
I can copy just fine.

Oh and it keeps predicting my battery life is going to die in 3(approx hours), be it 100% or 3% charge.

I don't have a CMD key, and I am on an ASUS laptop.

re: Can't paste in MS Word

If your using the mobile versions then you need to sign to edit for free, other wise it's a viewer and the advanced functions need a office 365 license.

Edit: bah, I was able to edit without a 365 license on my laptop. Just looked at the updated requirements... for the mobile apps (shouldn't have done a clean install again lol). To edit for free your better off using office online or the free office alternatives.

Try Open Office. It's free and very good. openoffice.org/download/
