Have you checked what addins Word is running - and have you installed any recently?

Hi again. Yes, I realised later that Word is just trying to be helpful as if I was typing a capitalised sentence and "i" on its own must be "I".
I have never knowingly installed Word add-ins though one often gets offered browser add-ins. Checking using
Tools->Templates and Add-ins and the Global add-in list shows as empty.
Agreed it is not quite so surprising that copying a row gets the whole row (though still it should be still in table format). That is why I highlighted a column.
However I have just repeated the experiment on a new document, and that part of the anomaly does not happen. A single column copies into three lines of text each with the content of just the highlighted column(s). At least that means that I can duplicate a column in the table which is one of the things I routinely do. I have no idea how this change (improvement!) in behaviour, which was a major part of my frustration, has come about.
But not being able to copy a table as a table is still a major pain!
Mike.
