    I found a solution and it works now. I went to control panel, languages and change the default language from Greek to English and I restarted the laptop. then, i changed again the default language from English to Greek an I restarted the pc. after all of that, the control-c, control-v works properly in the  Word.

    I did everthing that you send me but the problem remains.

    I  am not sure if you exactly understand my problem. It doesn't work the ctrl-c , ctrl-v and ctrl-x  in Word 2016 (Office 365 license) on laptop keyboard (only in word) Copy/paste works correct with mouse right click. As I told you, the shortcut ctrl-c , ctrl-v and ctrl-x works correct in excel, outlook, powerpoint.

    I believe that is a setting problem.Maybe I need to change the settings. Have you got any idea to help me?
