tables - copying and pasting text
MSWord 2003
I am attempting to copy or move text from one table to another table with an identical layout. However, the procedure copies and inserts the applicable columns into the new table as well; thereby "doubling" the number of columns in the destination table. Although I am able to pull this off by copying or moving one row at a time, I run into the above problem if I select the text to be copied from more than one row. My appreciation in advance for any assistance in this regard. Rod |

tables - copying and pasting text
Tab from the last cell of the destination table to add a blank row at the
bottom, then select that entire row and you can paste to add multiple rows to the table. (The entire row includes the end of row marker to the right of the row outside the table... either select by clicking once to the left of the row or drag from first cell, all the way into the right margin.)

tables - copying and pasting text
Thanks so very much.
Actually, I had previously been using the process that you described below, but for some reason it just wasn't working for me yesterday. However, today it's working like a charm. Go figure.
