Why Can I Not Paste into Find/Replace?

Why can I not copy text and paste it into the Find/Replace box? It pastes it into my storyline file.

    Hey Sarah!

    I just tested this out, and I'm able to paste the copied text into the Find/Replace field:

    If this only happens in one file, import the slides into a new project. If you can replicate it in another project, run a quick repair to see if that fixes things.

    I'm standing by to hear your findings!

    This is an annoyance. Ctrl+V to paste will paste into the storyline file, not the find/replace box.

  • Hi Terry,

    Do you reproduce this issue on a new project with just one slide?

    Have you tried using CTRL+F then CTRL+V  simultaneously or right-clicking the Find/Replace textbox then choosing Paste as shown by Becca above?
