How to copy a Word table to Wordpress wysiwyg editor

Question

I am having Word documents for the default page markup. I can copy everything I need, except tables.

Is it possible to have a table in a Word document and copy them straight into the Wordpres wysiwyg editor?

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a Word document with some text and a Table with some information
• Copy it, and past it into the Wordpress editor
• You see directly that the table formatting is deleted and the text from the tables is shown instead

Answer 1

You could try the TinyMCE Advanced plugin which adds a Paste from Word button. In my experience, copying and pasting directly from Word will make some pretty messy code on the page. It would be better to copy the text you need into the Wordpress Editor and rebuild the look of it. TinyMCE Advanced (and probably other plugins) will also have some buttons to help you set up tables if you really need to do that.
