I am trying to copy and paste, and for some reason, I keep getting the previous content only - I've tried multiple ways to copy, but whenever I want to paste, it repeats old text.

Microsoft word is not allowing me to copy or cut and paste new information. I've tried this from AI, also word documents and excel documents - nothing is working. It keeps churning out the same information time and time again.
