If the content is pasted as html (into composer or ms word), it is one row of cells.

but that's because word copies it as HTML, so underwater it probably uses the
table page's table definitions.

In other programs (WordPerfect or Notepad, and probably under Linux Kedit, Gedit
etc.) the data is just a long stream.

well, this is dup of 103522
  copying from tables adds no whitespace between cells
