I encountered the following situation:
- I had a table in Word, whose Alignment was set to Left;
- I copied some text from a PDF article (Adobe Reader) that was laid out on
2 columns; the line breaks are copied as well, such that when you paste the
text somewhere else, you have to manually delete all the line breaks
(carriage returns) yourself
- When I pasted the text into one of the table's cells, the text was
automatically alligned Right, with the exception of the last line (i.e. last
paragraphs, because of the line breaks). Other times the lines are aligned
Centered, but never Left, as they should be.

I have to do this operation many times, and it's irritating enough to have
to delete all the unnecessary line breaks, let alone to also have to
reenforce the Left alignment of the pasted text after each Paste operation.

Word is set up to paste text from other programs by keeping text only, so
any alignment setting from Adobe Reader should not count.

If I paste text that doesn't have line breaks in it (as a result of 2-column
page layout for example), then the pasted text looks fine in the WOrd table,
i.e. it is aligned Left as it should be.

Also, if I paste the same text outside of a table, the default Left
alignment is maintained, it's only when I paste into a table cell that the
alignment is altered.

Can anyone suggest why this is happening, and how I can get text that has
line breaks in it to be pasted in tables without bringing in a different
alignment? Anticipated thanks!
