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?=,

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?

Ken,
Did you find a solution to this?

I'm having the same problem in Word 2000.

Many thanks.

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
