              TableCleaner is absolutely indispensable when you're

              FrameMaker. I couldn't do without it.
              <br>
              <br>
              But for bringing in a single table (which I believe was
              the original query), I'll stick with the
              convert-to-text-before-copying method. In my experience it
              is quicker to apply clean formatting to the cells of one
              table that was built from pasted plain text than to fix
              all the Word-ness of a table that was pulled in as a table
