    Hi Razmotin!

    Thank you for writing to the Microsoft Answer Community Forum, I am Shakiru, an independent advisor and a user like you, and I am glad to be helping you out today.

    I'm sorry, you are experiencing this.

    sometimes the paste function will appear as an icon. However, if you do not see the paste icon, do you see a word like edit in all the display tabs that shows up? if there is an edit, click it and the paste function will be displayed.

    Please note, there is no paste special function feature on iPad for now.

    If the Paste still does not appear, you may need to update the app, restart or even reinstall the app.

    Kindly let me know, if you require additional assistance, I will be glad to help further.

    Kind Regards, Shakiru

    You have pasted in a Word for Windows forum. You should move your post to the Word forum for iPhone and iPad.
