Help - My tables have extra boxes around the text.

[Guest]

I've pasted tables from an old document into another document. The tables
now have extra boxes around the text. It looks like a table in a table, but
I can't get rid of the extra boxes. Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried pasting the old table into WordPad or something, as in a .txt file? Paste there, then copy that version to Excel, see what happens with that....

Kare_M, what type of document have you pasted into? It is possible to do
exactly what you think has happened in some applications: paste a table into
a cell in another table. Most likely candidate would be pasting into a table
in a Word document.
