The most important point is this that, here our information is in horizontal and vertical cells. At first, select them and right click then copy them.

Step 2. When you copied the table you to paste the table or text to another place you have the current options

  • You can directly move your mouse on other mouse and click enter to paste the table into another place.
  • Or right-click on other place and click paste or paste special.
