Yeah, I always knew there was *something* brain-dead about pasting Excel tables
into Word...

I gave up a while ago, and resorted to pasting the contents into a pre-sized and
pre-formatted table with at least *one* row more than I'm about to insert, and
after the paste operation copy the format from that one untouched row to the
pasted-in ones to fix the formatting again...

What's been annoying me most is that Word *does* seem to adjust the table
formatting according to the Excel table format, there's *nothing* you can do
about it, while the adjusted format *never* seems to bear *any* similarity with
the Excel formatting whatsoever (that would be *something* at least).

Yuck!

Or, as you put it: "Arrrgggh!"
