You can also copy just the contents
and ignore the attributes.
Dreamweaver has one basic restriction to table cut-and-paste operations: Your selected cells must form a
rectangle. In other words, although you can select non-adjacent cells, columns, or rows and modify their
properties, you can??™t cut or copy them. Should you try, you get a message from Dreamweaver like the one
shown in Figure 13-5; the table above the notification in this figure illustrates an incorrect cell selection.
FIGURE 13-5
Dreamweaver enables you to cut or copy selected cells only when they form a rectangle.
Copying attributes and contents
When you copy or cut a cell using the regular commands, Dreamweaver automatically copies everything??”
content, formatting, and cell format??”in the selected cell. Then, pasting the cell reproduces it; however,
you can get different results depending on where the cell (or column or row) is pasted.
To cut or copy both the contents and the attributes of any cell, row, or column, follow these steps:
1. Select the cells you want to cut or copy. Remember that to cut or copy a range of cells in
Dreamweaver, they must form a solid rectangular region.
