When I am searching for information on a specific subject and find sources providing such info, I will always copy and paste this info into Excel. Yes, I know about Word, but just prefer to do almost all things in Excel - I am now 80 and have been using "Windows and Office since introduction so I am not changing now - please forgive me. Right now I am researching a new vehicle and came across some options that I have long forgotten the details of and thus decided to look it up. Also, the vehicle I picked, I have created an Excel worksheet detail what I want, what is available, the costs and so forth. Suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, trying to use CTRL+C and CTRL+V stopped working. At first, I thought something had been done at the website I was working with to prevent these actions, however, I found it also continued at the site I had previously been working with.
MY question is this: What caused CTRL+C and CTRL+V to stop working and what can I do to restore these shortcut commands?
PLEASE NOTE:
When this incident occurred, I immediately assumed (terrible habit) that something had gone wrong with Windows or Microsoft 365 and Office. However, after loading the page I wanted I then loaded another page on similar information. It was the first page I loaded where I could not copy and paste but when I went to the second page I had loaded with info I wanted, I tried to copy and paste here and it worked fine. This tells me there is something at the first page that prohibits copying and pasting the info. I know some sites do this because they consider their information to be under their ownership and want no one else to have it. Yes, You can read it, and retype it, but that is cumbersome and difficult and takes a good deal of time. Apparently, that is what happened in my case - again I am assuming this to be true. The site where I could not copy and paste is located at: https://www.jegs.com/tech-articles/gear-ratio-explained-charts-formulas-resources/. There are some other oddities here and to be perfectly honest, I believe if you have info that is proprietary to your business, don't put it on line and therefore if you are putting something online, consider it public domain info for all and stop the monkey business and let us copy and paste. Also at this site, when I clicked with the left button down and began To drag it across the page, the page changed..
I am using ?Windows 10
Microsoft 365 & Office - Home

Thank you for trying to help this OLD MAN!
