Copied Word Table Pastes As Simple Text
Hi The
This is a weird little problem, but I can't seem to track down the cause. When I Cut or Copy a table in Word 2002 (in Windows XP), the table formatting is lost when I paste it. For some reason, the application translates the table formatting to tab characters. I have looked in the Clipboard and have confirmed the table formatting is intact there, but when I Paste, the table formatting is gone. Thoughts please! Many thanks. |

Hi ?B?S2Vu?=,
This is a weird little problem, but I can't seem to track down the cause. When I Cut or Copy a table in Word 2002 (in Windows XP), the table formatting is lost when I paste it. For some reason, the application translates the table formatting to tab characters. I have looked in the Clipboard and have confirmed the table formatting is intact there, but when I Paste, the table formatting is gone. Check in Edit/Paste Special which formats are listed. Probably only plain text, but worth looking at. This would mean that something on your system is interfering with putting RTF or HTML format on the Clipboard. Are you seeing problems with any other Office applications, such as Excel? Are you able to paste formatting from text (no tables) in Word?

Many thanks. -- lynette ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.mcse.ms ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.mcse.ms/message1663517.html |

Copied Word Table Pastes As Simple Text
Hello,
A colleague had the same issue when using Word 2003. He was copying an existing table and then when pasting it, the table did not paste, only the text did. The strangest part is that he repeated the action a couple of times and sometimes the paste would work (the table pasted fine). I am interested to know why this happens as well. Thanks, Veronica "unknown" wrote: |
