Two other workarounds that may or may not be helpful to you. If you copy and paste text from the online version of Word and other M365 apps, this issue goes away. It is only an issue in the Word desktop app for Macs. Also, if you copy and paste the text to a Copilot prompt first and then copy & paste it from there to ChatGPT desktop app, there is not issue. But really, this is so annoying!
