Default Copy/Paste Tables from Website, Dissappearing and Unstable

I am copying and pasting text that is from a website. It then put them into
table (lots of tables). This is due to how the website is created. The table
are fine after pasting. The problem is when I try to apply two columns, the
tables reconfigure as wanted but some disappear leaving large blanks between
sections. Some section even switch from column to column. I've never
seen/heard of this, any help is appreciated.

God Bless

Paste the contents as "Unformatted Text," via the Paste Special dialog box.
This will give you more control over the formatting.

To display the Paste Special dialog box:

- Edit | Paste Special (Word 97-2003).

- Home tab | Paste | Paste Special (Word 2007).
