SYMPTOMS
When you drag a Word for Windows table and drop it in Microsoft Excel version 5.0 for Windows, the first cell in the Word table is deleted in Word. In other words, the first cell in the table is moved to Excel, while the remaining table cells are copied.

Note: If you select less than an entire row in the Word table and drag it into Excel, the entire row is copied. The smallest table unit you can move using drag-and-drop is a row. If you select a single column in a multi- column table, the entire table is copied.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
