Cutting, copying, and pasting cells

You can cut, copy, or paste a single table cell or multiple cells at once, preserving the cell formatting (see Cutting and copying table cells). You can paste cells at the insertion point or paste over a selection in an existing table (see Pasting table cells).

The selected cells must be contiguous and in the shape of a rectangle. For example, the selection in this illustration is a rectangle of cells, so the cells can be cut or copied.

The selection in this illustration is not a rectangle, so the cells can’t be cut or copied.
