The second method also merges the paragraph after the table
with the paragraph before the table, which may not be what you

part:

2) From the main menu choose Table > Select > Table.
3) Press Control+C or click the Copy icon on the Standard toolbar.
4) Move the cursor to the target position and click on it to fix the
insertion point.
5) Press Control+V or click the Paste icon in the Standard toolbar.

cells, which must be removed in step 6.)
4) Move the cursor to the target position and click on it to fix the
insertion point.

choose Table > Delete > Table from the main menu.

text or other contents in the first (upper left-hand) cell and press
Alt+Enter. To insert a paragraph after a table, position the cursor after
