I use a couple templates I've developed for quoting and have trouble using them since I've switched to Windows 8.1, and Office 2013.  I copy from Excel and paste into windows.  When I first installed the new software it worked fine.  Then it started doing crazy things with the tabs.  A column in Excel would be way wider in Word to the point my table would be off the screen.  Then it got better.  Then it got bad again.  The problem seems to be intermittent.  I just re-installed Office.  No change.

I saw one person's note about having the file you are copying to open or closed when copying from Excel.  Tried that but no change.  Any ideas?  So two problems:

1. pasting doesn't work

2. the software seems unstable

Just discovered a work around.  I think, since the problem does seem to come and go.  The template was initially developed in Office 2010.  It works fine in 2013, except for pasting apparently.  When I recreated the template in 2013, it seems to paste correctly - so far.

This is probably just like what you've discovered, these are old templates created in Office 2010, which might have compatibility issue.

Re-created them within Office 2013 should fix this.
