  I’ve created a table in Word and have been trying to insert it as “media” and then by ‘copying and pasting” but none worked.

  Could you help me please?

  Try using Ctrl+V for pasting whilst in the “Visual” tab and the “T” icon is not toggled to plain text. But it want show the outlines when published.

  Best of Luck

  Thanks grahaminhats!

  It kinda works but it doesn’t show as my original table.So I guess that’s not the solution.

  MSWord (or any other word processing program) is not recommended for writing HTML. Please read: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/#tables

  Other community members have mentioned that tables created in MSLiveWriter do copy/paste into the Text Tab of the Post/Page Editor. This is also mentioned in the Support doc I’ve linked to above.

  There is also an excellent tutorial written by a former forum volunteer, which you can find here: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/table-coding-for-wordpress-com-users/
