There's an occasional bug with those versions where any code that uses the DataObject for clipboard access just ends up with two strange characters instead of the actual text. (that's why my add-in uses API calls instead )

.. ends up with two strange characters instead of the actual text.

Are they like 2 squares? I get that occasionally when using Excel jeanie (Win 10). I haven't worked out yet whether something specific is triggering it or just random.

 

[etaf]

yes
2 little squares
