Paste rows in a table

Quite often I need to copy several rows of text to several rows of a
table. I copy the rows that I want to paste into the tables, highlight
the rows I want to copy to and click 'paste' or 'paste
special/unformatted text' or 'paste special/formatted text'. Only the
first word of each sentence is copied.
How can I get all the characters/sentences of each row copied into as
many rows in a table?

Try using the 'table, convert text to table' command first. At the moment you
are copying all the selected text then pasting it into the first 'cell' of
the table. If you first conert the text to a series of cells it gives Word an
extra clue as to what you are trying to achieve.
