Hi jtech,

Do you have word configured to show formatting and table gridlines?

Hi jtech,

It seems a recent Skype Click-to-Call browser add-in is causing problems like this on many systems. If you have that, you may need to disable or uninstall this add-in until Skype releases a fix.

Skype … isn't that now owned by Microsoft? <g>

For what it's worth, I was (seemingly) randomly encountering the copy/paste fail with tables. I selectively closed everything I was running and found IE (version 8) to be the culprit. Once I closed it I could copy/paste at will. When I started it back up, c/p fail. And so on, every time.

Have you tried repairing your IE installation? See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378

Also, have you checked for the offending Skype addin on your system?

Macropod, you've cleared up something that's been troubling me mightily for several days. I would never have made the connection between installing Skype and the change in pasting tables. I'm so grateful!

Hi I got problem with copy and paste table. Only text display. No table. I try to setting up but fail.
