Cannot find "Paste Special" option in Visual Studio 2017
I cannot see the Paste Special option in my Visual Studio 2017 Professional Edition:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2017
Version 15.4.5
VisualStudio.15.Release/15.4.5+27004.2010
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.7.02046
In this blog post it is shown for Visual Studio 2013. On my machine, the edit menu appears as below:
Is there a way to get back the option? Do I need to enable this option somehow?

The Paste Special option will not show if you are debugging.
I stopped my application and the Paste Special option appeared right away.
This was in Visual Studio 2017, but I assume it would be the same for all versions.

I have missed an important step. There is nothing wrong in Visual Studio 2017. I was not in a .cs file.

Another possible answer to this problem is the WCF component is not installed in Visual Studio.
