Problem

Solutions: If a user wants to copy a given cell or row format in a table (e.g., joined or split cells) they can do so by following these steps:
1.      Enter Table Edit mode
2.      Block the cells to be replicated/copied
3.      Press the Insert (Ins) key
4.      Choose Row

This will copy the cell structure and insert it above the area that was blocked.

To copy a row or a cell and maintain it's structure within the same table, follow these steps:
1.      Enter Table Edit mode
2.      Press Ctrl-F4 for Move
3.      Select Column or Row, then Move or Copy

This will copy all of the information in the row or column (without the need to block it) to the desired location.

One customer wanted to block and move a column within a table, then, move the text outside of the table definition codes. In Table Edit mode, the text in a column cannot be moved outside of the table in one step. Blocking a rectangle, or tabular column, only blocks one cell. Customers can do the following:
1.      Block the entire table
2.      Move it out of the table
3.      Block a rectangle or tabular column

Another customer wants to add a blank column to a table that is already formatted with some math columns. When the new column is added, the column is not blank. The new column has all of the math formulas repeated from the original math columns. This is working correctly. On p. 638 of the Reference manual (p. 706 in the old manual), it states that the new column (or row) will have the same column attributes (a formula is considered as an attribute), justification, and width settings as the column the cursor resides in. The only thing that is not copied is the text.
