Robert Barto kindly tested this for me (which is more than MSU IT did)
and reports that copy-paste works for him. So maybe it's just my
browser/OS. I was using Firefox 60.0.1 64-bit under Windows 7. Based
on Robert's success, I tried again with Internet Explorer 11 and
copy-paste worked this time. I'll keep working with MSU IT so they can
figure out what's going on with OWA & Firefox.
Thanks to all, that's why I turn to MSUNAG when MSU IT drags its heels.
