= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word, a table cannot be deleted by pasting text or a graphic selection over it. If anything (text, graphics, etc.) is pasted over a selected table, the Text To Table dialog box appears. When you click OK, another dialog box may appear that says “Copy and Paste areas are different shapes.”

To work around this problem, select the table and the paragraph mark that lies right above or below it. Once such a selection is made, the table can be successfully replaced by pasting text or a graphic over it.
