Copy text in table cells Framemaker 10

I want to copy the content of several table cells in an other table of the same document. How can I do this so that the text is copied in several cells again and not all the content in only one cell?

    Normally, just make sure you select the same array of cells in both source and destination table. If they don't match, geometrically, it may not work. This might happen, for example, if you have a straddle in one but not the other.

    If the tables need to have identical content for some cells going forward, consider having the clone table's cells populate the shared cells with cross-references, by paragraph text, to the master table. Then if the master table changes, so does the clone.
