I'm not sure by your description, but have you checked the paragraph indentation, justtification and other paragraph properties for the parapgraph the table is in (not the paragraphs in the table itself)? How are you copying the table from the other document? If you're accidentally grabbing the paragraph marker along with the table, you could be grabbing settings in the other doc by accident.

There is, of course, the possibility that Word is just doing this to make your life more difficult. Not that I'm implying that Word does anything weird..............

If you can't resolve the issue, better to just create a new table. I've recently learned that copying someone elses work into your own work can really screw stuff up in Word. Whatever you do, DON"T copy the paragraph marker at the end of paragraphs. <cringe />
