When you click in the table cell, does the top left drop down (next to 
the font) show Table Contents.
This is the default style in the table where your paragraph properties 
are stored. By default this has indents and spacings of zero. When you 
past other text into the table, you also paste the other text style 
which may have the indents. You can highlight the table and select table 
contents as the style, or when you paste you can Edit>Paste 
Special>Unformatted to paste without copying the style.
