Hi
It's not very clear exactly what is meant by copying a text file into a
table.
Is the text in a .txt or a .csv or tsv file-type? Or do you have maybe a
Word file open or a website or something and trying to copy&paste from that
into LibreOffice? If you click on the links into Nabble and reply then it
might be possible to use the "More" button to upload the an example of the
type of thing you are doing. Obviously don't give us any confidential
information!
Also are you trying to get the text into a table in Writer? Have you
considered trying to get it into Calc instead? Once in a spreadsheet format
including csv or tsv it should be fairly simple BUT it's one of those things
that might be a LOT easier with hindsight.
Official documentation is on this page
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
It's possible to get sneak pre-release editions (and archived editions) at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
but the wiki-page is more for authors, and people that work behind the
scenes (and/or people that just enjoy poking around and finding weird stuff
(such as the video tutorial and other 3rd party guides & HowTos).
Are you getting your guides from somewhere else or are those the ones that
you are struggling with at the moment? If they are the ones then is there
anything you could suggest that might help us make the guides easier?
Various documentation teams in OpenSource projects have had a few 'noobs'
join to help give a fresh perspective but they tend to become quite expert
all tooo quickly and lose that noobish insight. Help would be appreciated!

Methinks he simply wanted to convert text to a table (i.e., making a table out of selected text)--something that Word, Writer, or FrameMaker can do with ease. For LO, it's select the text, and then Table > Convert > Text to Table.
Importing text into a table cell is child's play, so I strongly doubt that was what he intended.
