copy/paste of nested tables does not work properly
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Objective: copy a nested table from one cell in the parent table to another cell in the parent table. Problem: when I try to copy a nested table from one cell to another, the paste does not work as expected. If I try to past the cell in column two, nothing happens. If I try to paste the nested table in column one of a new row, the nested table distributes itself in multiple cells of the parent table. Workaround: If, prior to creating the nested table, I put a blank line in the parent cell, then create the nested table, the copy and paste function works as expected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a 2x2 table. 2. In the first cell of this table (P1:1) create a 2x2 table. Fill this nested table with data. 3. Select the nested table and copy. 4. Click on row1:column2 of the parent table and paste...nothing happens. 5. Click on row2:column1 of the parent table and paste...the data in the nested table is distributed among multiple rows and columns of the parent table. 6. Create a new parent 2x2 table. 7. In the first cell of this table enter a carriage return, then create a 2x2 table and fill this nested table with data. 8. Select the nested table and copy. 9. Click on row1:column2 of the new parent table and paste...the nested table appears in the cell as expected.
MRU->FME: a table cannot be copied into another table via clipboard.

With Dev300m37 on WindowsXP, I found the similar problem. But there are two different details, please see the following description: 1 At step 4, I can paste data in the first column of nested table, but doesn't like bcarey depicted 'nothing'. This is the first one. 2 Another, at step8 and step9, bcarey could pasted the nested table in the parent table, I think it depends on the selected way, . If selecting the nested only, we can only paste data in the first column of nested table . If selecting the first blank line and the nested in the first cell of parent,we can only paste the nested table in the partent table Li Meiying
