I am a developer for Cognito Forms, I was able to reproduce this issue in our testing environment when the Calculation Type was set to 'Time'. In the settings for the Calculation Field try setting the Type to 'Number'. You are looking for a number value from the subtraction of the two times. You can continue to use either .Hours or .TotalHours.
You can now do this in Cognito Forms in two different ways:
If you are a member of both organizations, you now have the option to copy forms from other organizations when creating a new form. Just select New Form - Copy Existing Form.
You can share your form designs with anyone by enabling sharing under Form Settings. This will provide you with a link that anyone can use to create forms based on your form design.

We have determined that this is an issue in newer versions of Chrome and FireFox. The short story here is that older versions of these browsers did not support pasting formatted content from products like Microsoft Word, so a plugin was required to convert the pasted content to make it work. This plugin does not play nice with newer browser versions but is also no longer required, so we are testing to see if we can remove it entirely.
In the mean time, try using Internet Explorer or Edge. Also, if you only need the text content (not the formatting) right click in Chrome and select Paste as Text, or you can paste the content first into a text editor and then paste into Cognito Forms.
