Cut, copy, and paste table contents
When text is selected within a cell, cutting, copying, and pasting actions are the same as for text selected outside a table.
You can also cut, copy, and paste cells and their contents. If the insertion point is in a table when you paste, multiple
pasted cells appear as a table within a table. You can also move or copy the entire table.
1 Select the cells you want to cut or copy, and then choose Edit > Cut or Copy.
2 Do any of the following:
•
To embed a table within a table, place the insertion point in the cell where you want the table to appear, and then
choose Edit > Paste.
•
To replace existing cells, select one or more cells in the table—making sure that there are sufficient cells below and
to the right of the selected cell—and then choose Edit > Paste.
