Eh ... I think this is a mor
MS Office copy operations are notoriously problematic. Microsoft maintains
their own clipboard format, so that when switching to another product the
clipboard must be translated. Other apps may do the same. The translation does
not always go to plan.

That's simply standing on principle, which I find admirable!
After all, give us a char and we'll likely take ... an image. :)
But on the tech side, not surprising; char 1 of (the data).

Recently I ran into this bug, which Trevor already reported:
"Unable to paste images copied from Microsoft Word on Windows"
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21906

press does not. Weird to me.
One day (probably long after I'm dead) computer software will come out of
the dark ages and into the light.
