DataSnipper image import closing Excel - how to resolve
As mentioned, we suspect this has to do with a conflicting Add-in. It may be possible to resolve this by disabling non-DataSnipper Add-ins.
To achieve this, navigate to File, Options, Add-ins, select COM Add-ins then click Go.
In the Add-ins list, unselect all but the DataSnipper Add-in and then click Ok.
Restart Excel and try to paste in the image again. If Excel still closes when importing images with non-DataSnipper Add-ins disabled, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or the DataSnipper Support team.
