The information in this article applies to:
If you select a table and try to cut it to the Spike, the Spike command captures only the contents of the first cell. When you paste the Spike contents, you insert only the contents of the first cell.
The Spike captures only the information up to the first paragraph mark. The end-of-cell marker in the first cell acts like a paragraph mark; thus, the Spike fails to see the contents of the table beyond the first end-of-cell marker.
Select the entire table and the paragraph mark immediately following it before executing the Spike command.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
