I don't use Finale on a regular basis and have recently upgraded to Version 27, Windows.
I'm noticing that I cannot "cut and paste" lyrics in the lyrics window as I have done in previous versions.
Is this a bug or has Finale been changed in some way to inactivate this feature?

It works for me, but I’m on a Mac. Let’s see if any Windows users chime in.Harmony wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:37 pmI don't use Finale on a regular basis and have recently upgraded to Version 27, Windows.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I'm not sure I communicated my issue clearly.
In previous versions of Finale for Windows, I was able to copy text from a Word file and paste in to the lyrics window. Also was able to cut, copy and/or paste lyrics in the lyrics window. With the upgrade to Version 27 I am not able to do any of that now which means I'm having to spend a lot of time typing and/or retyping lyrics. This is very frustrating and time consuming especially if I type lyrics for Verse 1 and Verse 2 in their respective "windows" then decide they should have all been typed under the the "Verse 1" window. I can't copy, cut or paste them in the Finale lyrics window, nor can I paste them from a Word file after copying or cutting them in Word. If this is truly a bug, I hope Make Music fixes it soon on an update.

Like Peter, I am able to copy from Word and paste into the lyrics window, and copy and paste between verses.
I assume you've rebooted your computer.
Can you copy and paste in other applications?
Are you having trouble with all documents, including a brand new one?
Have you tried resetting your preferences?
