[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4Beta5 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [DEV300m103 (Build:5)]". It seems to be a pure paste problem, hte reproduce I created a more simple "sample.odt" Steps to reproduce: 1. Click into cell containing "1! 2. 2 times <cntl+a> to select complete table 3. <cntl+c> for copy 4. Click below text "Paste below here" 5. <cntl+v> for paste expected: a complete clone of the 4 cells table should appear actual: as expected 6. Click into single cell table below 7. <cntl+v> for paste Expected: Nested table should be created as a clone of the 4 cells table Actual: second row will be created, cels contain Nos. 1,3 That seems inconsistent. A workaround is to include the line in front ofsmall table and line behind small table into marked area , then the complete table will be inserted in step 7 I doubt that that can be fixed easily, for some needs the current behavior just might be the desired one, please see second example in "sample.odt". To me this bug seems to be an enhancement request.

[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

In LO3.5a2 an inner table cannot even be selected to be copied.

I have limited the normal cell overwriting behaviour of Writer for the case, where the text cursor is there at the beginning of the cell. Now it is possible to insert a nested table in a simple way: positionate the text cursor in a non-cell-starting position (in an empty cell, for example, press space), and paste it. So now a multi-paragraph cell supports also nested table insertion similarly to the normal text area. Commit message: "fdo#37156 insert table copy as nested table in non-starting cell position Inserted table content overwrote full cell content, when it was inserted in the middle of a multi-paragraph table cell. Now overwriting depends from the cursor position within the cell: if the cursor is not at the beginning of the first paragraph of the cell, Writer inserts the copied table content as a nested table, instead of overwriting the cell (or also the other cells of the destination)."

Created attachment 156494 [details] Proposed patch with table popup menu->Paste Special->Paste in Cell
Note: It worth to create similar options to insert table rows before/after the actual row/column instead of overwrite the content of the actual cells, as in MSO (where there is a "paste table special" toolbar on the popup table menu with mouseover preview).

Hi László Németh, I see the option 'Nested Table' in the context menu, however, if I use Ctrl + Shft + V, I don't see it listed, should be there too ?
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #23) > Hi László Németh, > I see the option 'Nested Table' in the context menu, however, if I use Ctrl > + Shft + V, I don't see it listed, should be there too ? @Xisco: maybe not, because it's not a different format. But extending the local menu of the Paste icon on the Standard toolbar would be useful.
