If the problem is with a specific document, the reason could be
corruption. For fixes, see:

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.

My previous reply may have been irrelevant for your situation.
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.
