Copy table to new document

[Alice]

Best way to copy entire table in existing document to a new document?? ---
section break to change to landscape orientation and appropriate margins
already in place. Ending section break already in place. Table being
inserted is several pages long. Word 2007 on XP desktop. Thanks.

Click in the Table then use the Table Tools contextual tab labeled Layout.
In the Table group click the Select button & choose Select Table, then do
your Ctrl+C... you know the rest of the drill

Clicking on the table handle also selects the entire table.

Quite true, but I've always found that little bugger to be quite elusive -
it *always* seems to be there when I don't need it & *never* seems to be
hanging around when I do Although it does seem to be much more stable in
2007. Even so, you have to be at the beginning of the Table to use it even
if it isn't playing Hide 'n' Seek, which can be a pain in a large table. I'd
like to see the Select... options in the contextual menu - I'd probably use
that more than half the other stuff combined.

I agree about the handle. If the table is the first item in a document, or
if you have white space hidden, the handle may not appear, and of course it
doesn't appear in Normal/Draft view, which I use a lot.
