Word 2003 "paste as nested table" not nesting
I have 2 documents. The source document has an table inside a cell of
an outer table. I want to paste this inner table in the cell of an outer table of the destination document. I hover the cursor over the inner table until I see the "compass" symbol on the table's upper left corner (looks like a cross with outward facing arrow heads at the end of each bar, all inside a box). I click on it to highlight the inner table, then got to Table-Select-Table. Then I Copy. Going to the destination table, I put the insertion point in the destination cell of the outer table. I the "past as nested table". The inner table gets inserted, but not inside the destination cell. It seems that the rows get inserted above the destination cell. The inner table being transplanted has several rows and columns, while the outer table in the destination document has just 1 column and 2 rows (before pasting), so the result is quite messy. I confirmed that the transplanted inner table does not reside in a cell of the outer table by placing the insertion point in the top cell and deleting the row; I then undid that, placed the insertion point in the bottom cell and deleted that row. In both cases, the transplanted inner table does not get deleted. What am I doing to prevent the pasted table from being nested within the destination cell of the outer table of the destination document? How can I achieve this desired nesting? I'm using Office 2003 on Windows XP. Thanks! |
