Default What should I do if, after transferring the text, I cannot edit it?

Hello everyone.

I faced such a problem as the impossibility of interacting with the text after transferring it to the Word.
I prepare a monthly employee performance report. To do this, I need to take the data with the programs (our company uses the WorkTime program) and insert them into the Word.
But when transferring tributes to the Word, I cannot edit the text. After some time, I still managed to edit the text. But later this problem reappeared. Someone knows what it might be connected with and what I am doing wrong. Any information will be very valuable.



Thanks in advance.

I suspect that what you have transferred into Word is not text, but rather a picture of text, which Word is unable to edit.
Your car mechanic cannot work on a picture of your car's engine, either.

This is a problem with your third-party program Work-Time and needs to be addressed there.

Have you tried the 'Export CSV' or 'HTML' options to access the text?

I love this quote Charles and can see myself plagiarizing it in the future. This is exactly how I feel when we see a screenshot instead of the actual problem file.
