Dirk and Shane, thanks for the information. But guys common can't you tell us here the rest of the steps! I myself have used few custom java scripts before, but with this one I am not getting any result.
Here is what I am doing, and I believe this is what the OP is trying to achieve as well; I have a table in Word, I copied the text there after highlighting it, jumped over to InDesign CS2 where I have a formatted table with the same number of columns and rows to that of Word.

The script appears in my Script Palette, double click on it or select "Run Script" from palette menu doesn't display or paste or any other thing? What am I missing?
I still can't Paste after highlighting table cells, the only thing is still available for me is when placing my insertion point within any cell and choosing paste, but this way I have all copied cells goes into this particular cell.
