Default pasting tables causes nesting

Unresolved... Table wrap is off. "Paste as nested table" only appears on the
menu when pasting one table into another, which is not the case here.
Selecting columns only (without the non-printing end-of-row markers) produces
the same result as selecting the whole table, markers included.

Not all tables present this problem - others in same document paste as
expected, even those with merged cells, so I can't consistently reproduce the
error.

Instead, make sure to turn off the table wrap (TableTable Properties,
Table tab), to get control over the paste operation.

When I cut or copy a table from my Word document and paste it back

in another
location within the document, part of the table becomes nested

inside the
rest. The caption is also enclosed in the 'outer' table.
