Annoying copy/paste table behavior
I'm working with Word 2003. I have several tables with only three
rows. I need to copy the values with formatting from the last cell in each row into the first cell in each row. If I do only one or two, it's fine. If I do all three, though, Word thinks I want to insert a new column!! Can I turn off this behavior? Or is there another cut/paste procedure that would do it? Ed |

I think the easiest way to deal with this is to simply delete the excessive
column (although it requires an extra step or two). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ed from AZ" wrote in message ... I'm working with Word 2003. I have several tables with only three rows.

Annoying copy/paste table behavior
That's what I've been doing, Stefan. I was just hoping there was some
setting that would tell Word that's not what I want to do. I noticed that when I copied all three cells, the default paste action became "Insert Column"!! I guess some people really like Word telling them what they want to do . . . Cheers!

Well, that's what I thought you had been doing. As far as I know, there is
no way to change how Word handles this. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ed from AZ" wrote in message ... That's what I've been doing, Stefan.
