merge formatted table

Word doesn't provide a means for that. Sure, you can select non-contiguous rows but, if you copy/paste them, all you'll get are the data, not the cell structures.

You might find it helps to work in split-screen mode, with the source & destination pages displayed.

Data is good, my rows are same formatted, I can create an empty row(or five for five not adjacent lines) but how paste into it?

Simply select them and paste.

that doesn't work with any of the paste options, it paste first row's first cell's content in all first row's cells, then second cell's content in all second row's cells and so on . . .

Try it and you'll see what I mean. I don't think you'll like the result.

Yes I have tried and as I said it paste first row's first cell's content in all first row's cells, then second cell's content in all second row's cells and so on . . .

So is there no trick to paste these same formatted rows in the same table?
