Default How do I copy a list into pre-formatted Word tables?

I am using Office 2016 on a Windows 10 system I have a list in Excel that I need to copy into a Word table. I have Word table already setup with the size, cell borders, font, etc. How do I copy my Excel list (or Word list) into this table without changing the current table format?

Thanks for anything you could offer.
RR

I would paste the excel content into Word in a different location - to firstly convert the content into a Word table format.

Then I would use format painter to paste the font formatting from your empty table into the fresh table content.

Finally, I would copy the fresh table content (excluding the end of table marker) and paste it into the original table. If the final copy includes the end of table marker then you are likely to end up with a nested table. The easy way to avoid this is to add an extra row on the end of the table you are copying and exclude that from the copy.
