Since my screenshot didn't make it through, just know that I selected
the entire cell by going to the Table menu and choosing Select-->Cell

In an effort to reduce confusion, I'm attaching a screenshot. Please
note the highlighted cell.

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Copy Paste problem in tables with
Writer 4.4
Hi, I think I am misunderstanding some steps:
4) this is Ctrl+A right?
5) the text is still highlighted? I see a conflict between leaving the
text highlighted (in which case you can't move the cursor and the text
overwrites the original content) and clicking anywhere in the cell (in
which case the text is pasted to wherever the cursor sits)
Cheers

by design.

could slow me down somewhat.
