Default Superfluous zeroes when copying from Word table to Excel

Here's an example of the problem I'm facing:

I copy the following from a table in Word:
5
4
3
2

I go into Excel and Paste Special/Paste Link/Unicode to
keep the link. What happens is that I get:
5
0
4
0
So I'm getting a superfluous zero between each of my cells.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

That didn't happen for me. My guess is that you have some extra rows in
your Word table.

Default Superfluous zeroes when copying from Word table to Excel

Hi,

thanks for your reply. The table did have returns in it
in Word, but I get the same behaviour when I delete them.
The table does have drop down selections, so I'm wondering
if that is somehow the problem(?)

Would you mind emailing me a copy of the Word document? Maybe I can figure
out what's happening.
