If I select as follows (attached):
and Paste below, I get:
which looks fine… except this is not one table but two. Any one know a workaround for a row having merged cells?
Proof this is not one table but two is Column select stops here:
Deleting that “column” leaves no such pointer available on the second “column”:
Workaround: Table > Select > Column.

You could merge the tables. Check menu Table : Merge Table. Doing that you can avoid unwanted results.

Great. Thanks. That lets me duplicate a row to the table start or end.
And to the middle - by splitting, pasing, merging twice. Do you know a quicker way?
Create a keyboard shortcut for Table > Merge Table, e.g. Alt+M
If you frequently use that pattern of table, you could create the largest size that you are likely to use and assign an AutoText entry to it so you just need to type the shortcut keys and then press F3. If you get more rows than you need, just delete the unwanted rows.
Another possibility is to ask if you need split cells or just the appearance of split cells as in the second table which I inserted.

Sorry if I was unclear. I meant do you know a way quicker than splitting, pasting, merging twice. But thanks for your suggestion of making that way quicker.
The reason I need a way to add is I’m updating existing finished documents.
Sadly I do. Thanks for the suggestions!
