Default How to maintain border format when Paste by Appending to Table

Hello experts,

I find that when I "Paste by Appending to Table" I loose the cell line
formatting on the paste.

Let me explain:

I use tables for signature blocks in legal documents.

I have a 2 row, 4 column signature table where all borders are off except
the bottom border of cells A1 and C1 are set to a single line. The cells
under each of those (eg: A2 and C2) contain the names of the people signing.
THis gives me a nicely formatted signature line.

I keep this table in a separate document so that when I want a signature
block in my current document I'll copy & past that table into the current
document.

When I do this the first time (eg: no existing table in the target document)
the formatting of the table borders (described above) is maintained.

When I have additional people signing I'll want to paste additional copies
of that 2 row table and append them to the previously pasted row.

However, when I paste subsequent times (eg: Paste by Appending to Table) the
formatting of the two cells with bottom borders is lost - but I want to
maintain the original formatting.

How can I instruct Word to maintain the original cell formatting on these
subsequent pastes?

Thank you!
