Copy and Paste Weird Formatting

Processor: Intel

If you look at this image:

<http://zencartconsulting.com/copy-paste-issue.gif>, you will notice that the middle row cells are different widths to the rows above and below.

Here are the steps that led to this.

In Word 2008 - put mouse pointer in row 1, right-clicked and insert rows. This generated a perfect copy of the row - which you can see in row 3.

Then put mouse pointer in row 1 and CTRL-C, CTRL-V which then produced that totally different row 2.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

You copied a selection of cells and pasted them into one cell, producing a
table within a table.

Depending on how you produced the original table, this would be normal.

Turn your end-of-cell and end-of-row markers on, so you can see what you are
doing more easily.

Hope this helps
