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! |
