Google Forms - Unable to copy paste Google Form Summary Chart or Graph to Microsft Word document

Google Forms is a survey software that is included in the Google Docs suite along with Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. It allows collecting information from users through surveys. The collected information is automatically displayed in beautiful chart / graphs and is also available for download in a spreadsheet.

 

Google Form allows copying the chart so that it can be used elsewhere.

How to copy chart from Google Forms:

Simply click on the copy icon right at top-right corner of the chart or diagram.

 

You will get a message that it has been copied to to the clipboard in the lower left corner.

You can then paste it into the location you want to use it.

Suppose if you are writing a report in Microsoft Word, and you want to copy the graph from Google Form into the document it can be done.Ideally.

However, when I tried today, I was able to copy the graph from Google Form but when I paste it in Microsoft Word, nothing appears.

It appears that I am not the only one facing this issue. I looked up and found others talking about this issue on Google Support.
