I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a bug with CS regarding copying table cells, and wondering if there is a scripting solution before this bug is fixed.

When I copy an individual page that represents a continued table flowing through multiple text frames (i.e. this table starts on page 1 and I'm copying page 3 which has the end of the table on it), upon pasting to a new document formatting is lost for part of the table.

This only happens with certain documents: i'm able to reproduce the error consistently with certain tables, but it is not easy to provide a very simple example (I'd be happy to send a binary file to Adobe that demonstrates the problem).

In terms of scripting, this brings up the question (now a need, formerly a curiosity) of how to take the tail end of a table off of a page and recreate it on another page as if that page was copied and pasted (hopefully avoiding copy and past itself).

Thanks,

Max
