Could people please turn their attention to these questions that I asked about a week ago? ====================================================================== What's correct to do for yanking a table? Yanking the whole table ought to preserve its properties so that the table still functions as one. Yanking a part of the table which can act as a complete table in itself should also do that. However, yanking some of the text within the table, which is less than a whole table entry, should forget that it came from a table and treat it like any ordinary text. Does that make sense to you? If so, can you look for a design to achieve those results?
