Also, if you select TableNormal rather than TableGrid as your default Table
AutoFormat, you shouldn't experience the problem in the first place.

In Word, I have a two-column table that has no borders (lines)
showing. When I copy the table, and paste it in another Word
document, borders (lines) appear all around and inside the table
(like a square with a big plus sign inside). To correct this, I
always have to (1) highlight the whole table; (2) right-click the
little compass that appears when the mouse is on the top
-left corner of the table; (3) select "borders and shading"; and (4)
select the setting as "None".

Is there an easier/better way?
