Pasting table cells

You can copy cells (see "Cutting and copying table cells" on page 87), then paste them at the
insertion point in a table or in place of a selection in an existing table.
To paste multiple table cells, the contents of the Clipboard must be compatible with the structure
of the table or the selection in the table in which you paste the cells. For example, if you copy a
block that is two cells by two cells, you must select a block that is the same size in which to paste
the cells.
To paste table cells:
In your draft, do one of the following to indicate where you want to paste the cells:
1
•
To replace existing cells with the cells you are pasting, select a set of existing cells with the same
layout as the cells you copied.
For example, if you've copied or cut a three by two cell block, select another three by two cell
block to replace with the block you copied or cut.
•
To paste a full row of cells above a particular cell, click in that cell.
•
To paste a full column of cells to the left of a particular cell, click in that cell.
•
To create a new table with the pasted cells, place the insertion point outside of the table.
Note: If you have less than a full row or column of cells in the Clipboard, and you click in a cell and then paste the
cells from the Clipboard, the cell you clicked in and its neighbors (depending on its location in the table) might be
replaced with the cells you are pasting.
Do one of the following:
2
•
Select Edit > Paste.
•
Right-click, then select Paste.
Contribute pastes the cells from the Clipboard.
