Copying a table in my web app in IE11 does not allow pasting in Excel or Word. Other browsers do.

Nothing is pasted when trying to paste copied text of an HTML table from my web app in IE11 to excel or word. 

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select the content of the table in IE11
  2. Right-click -> Copy
  3. Paste into excel either with [CTRL + V] or by right-clicking and selecting either paste option

Results:

Nothing is pasted

Expected Results:

The table is pasted

Notes:

  • The HTML tables that use standard W3C compliant  HTML markup.
  • The tables are styles with CSS
  • Pasting tables from other websites, even tables styled with CSS, seems to work fine
  • Pasting using "Paste Special > Text" sometimes shows the data, but when it does, the headers are usually wrong, and there are extra columns
  • Pasting from chrome works fine
  • Style isn't important, but having the data in the right format is critical

Here is the html of the table:

<table><thead><tr><th><span>Location</span></th><th><span>Count</span></th><th><span>Correlation</span></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a>
						US</a></td><td><span>
						100.00%</span></td><td><span>
						0.09</span></td></tr></tbody></table>
