I have a table in one document and am copying certain rows into a new document. I would like it to create one new table in the new document that looks exactly the same as the last. I have set the default paste options to 'keep source formatting'. Yet every time I paste a row, it is as though it is a new table all on its own and not formatted like the source table, but in bold type instead. This is driving me mad as I cannot select a column, it only selects the column for that row i.e. one cell and I can't make changes to it as a whole. I just don't understand why it pastes each row as a new table rather than as a new row in a table. Please help!

Try modifying the table style applied to the table in the target document. To prevent the table row from pasting as a separate table, make sure that the tables have their Text Wrapping set to "None" (on the Table tab of the Table Properties dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP
