    Inserting table into word - cell in a cell

    Hello!

    I am having problem with simple copy/paste from excel to word (both ver. 2010, file ver. 2003).

    For some reason, when pasting into Word, the problematic table gets one cell wrong, by putting it into another cell in a cell...

    Like this:

    I have also attached problematic .xls file to the post if you want to try for yourself.

    Thanks for help in advance!

    I've had a play around with this and can't seem to solve and I think it could be one of those instances when you just have to put it down to a glitch on that particular row because if you reproduce the same information manually on another row, it copy/paste's into Word fine.

    Re: Inserting table into word - cell in a cell

    Hmm I have only 6 "paste options":

    1) paste as original formatting
    2) paste as source formatting
    3) link as original formatting
    4) link as source formatting
    5) paste as picture
    6) paste text only

    Tried all... picture kinda "works" but it is not good solution for large tables I usually use (it is actually a bill of quantities)
