Word 2007 on Win7.

I'm trying to copy a series of sentences (in 1 document) into a table
(in a 2nd document). So:

1) imagine a table, e.g. 1 column wide, 3 rows deep.
2) three sentences:
John ran fast.
Simon talked quickly.
Sally left early.

If I select all three sentences, copy, then select the three rows and
paste, I get a table with:

John
Simon
Sally

in each row. That is, it only copies the first word of each.

Any ideas? Thanks!

If your table is set to fixed column width, maybe the rests of the
sentences are there, only hiding behind the cell boundary. You could
check by typing a Return or a Shift Return after the last visible
character in the cell.

No, nothing is there. Can anyone reproduce this? Maybe it's just my
Office...

Update: Works fine in Word safe mode...

The explanation/workaround is too cumbersome. And if it works in safe
mode, it might be a settings issue that I could override in normal
mode.

Any ideas?

See if you have any (poorly designed) add-ins installed:
