Copy / paste table cells

[Timothy DeWees]

Hi all,

 

I'm working on a project where a large document was originally in a database
(I don't know what software) that was updated and posted online as some sort
of html document. The database was then converted to a Word file which I
subsequently converted to frame. The whole document rendered as a huge,
unmanageable table. So I created a new frame template so we will have a
workable document in the future. The main problem I'm having is copying text
in table cells from the old document into the new. For example, I'm trying
to copy two table columns of text into a new two column table.  But when I
do, the text from the 1st column will cause my two columns to merge into a
single column and the text from the second column does not appear anywhere.
If I copy text individual cell by cell, it works fine. But this is going to
be a 1500 page document and that would take forever. 

 

Any suggestions on an approach I might take so that I can copy / paste
multiple rows at one time? I'm sorry I haven't provided much info on the
original table, but I don't understand it myself. The original table was
created in the conversion process and I would have no idea how to duplicate
it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
