Don't know how to categorise this issue

I used to copy and paste data from web page to Numbers.  It works fine until yesterday.  When I tried to paste the data from the same web page I used to copy, and tried to save the update.  Numbers closed automatically and my file has not been updated.  I checked the rows and columns and they are within Numbers limit.  I even move the file to iMac from iCloud.  Same close down happened.  I really need help in this, otherwise I have to fall back to using Excel.

Hi Jack,
I don't know what web page data you are copying, but web pages often have formatting that you don't need in a Numbers document.
For example, weather forecast on the web:
Copy and paste into TextEdit and Menu > Format > Make Plain Text
Copy in Text Edit and paste into a cell in Numbers. Select those cells, then Inspector > Cells > Cell Format > Wrap Text in Cell
Make the column wider to suit your layout.
Done in Numbers 2.3 and it works in Numbers 3.1.
TextEdit often cleans out the rubbish.
Please call back with questions.
Regards,
Ian.
