Cutting, copying, and pasting cells
You can cut, copy, or paste a single table cell or multiple cells at once, preserving the cells'
formatting (see "Cutting and copying table cells" on page 87). You can paste cells at the insertion
point or in place of a selection in an existing table (see "Pasting table cells" on page 88).
The cells you select must be contiguous and in the shape of a rectangle. For example, the selection
in this illustration is a rectangle of cells, so the cells can be cut or copied.
The selection in this illustration is not a rectangle, so the cells can't be cut or copied.
Cutting and copying table cells
You can copy a single cell or multiple cells, then cut the cells, or just the cells' content, from the
table. You can copy a single cell or multiple cells, then paste the cells in the same table or in
another table (see "Pasting table cells" on page 88).
