So i've noticed today that when I copy/paste tables from previous pages into new ones, the existing Background Colours in each cell disappears; this has never happened before, and i've done it hundreds of times. Does anyone know why this has suddenly started, or a possible way to fix this? Thanks :) Lexie 14:41, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

I suggest not using the visual editor to copy/paste tables. Doing it that way tends to introduce many coding errors, such as losing the background color as you mentioned. You should copy/paste the table in source mode instead. --Gardimuer ^{ ʈalk } 23:05, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
