Hi Corinna,
In this page, you'll see how to work with tables depending on your Confluence version
Another one already asked the same thing, the answer could probably help you too https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/28601
Best regards, Damien.
there it says strg shift c --but if i press this than i only open developer console .- can still not copy table . I have version Confluence 5.9.2
Oh, yeah, that's true. What a problem...
Try to change shortcuts? https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/keyboard-shortcuts-139456.html
Two possible solutions:
Use Mozilla Firefox, highlight the table, paste the table
FYI: I am a cloud user
Okay, so it does work in Firefox, but my company uses Chrome, should we file a bug? I need this to work in Chrome, it worked in Chrome right up until the latest update.
You can also use Microsoft Edge to select and paste a table!
In Chrome, Go to the end of table (easiest is to go to first line below the actual table and hit the left arrow). You know you are there, because the cursor will change to the size of the table! Then hit Shift--UpArrow. Everything in the table will be selected. Ctrl-C to copy and then paste it where you want.
Thanks!
It's important to properly select the entire table first. Otherwise the copy-paste operation won't work as expected.
The very top-left corner is used to select the whole table, when editing a Confluence page:
Another possible point of confusion is that Ctrl-C might not be a copy operation for some people. I use Cmd-C on my MacBook Pro. Keys can also be remapped.
So to be sure, you can use your browser menus for "Edit > Copy" and "Edit > Paste" for those operations (to avoid using the keyboard).
Also, be sure to put your cursor where you want the table copy to be inserted. If you don't do this, the new table copy just replaces the existing (selected) table, and doesn't appear to do anything.
I just tested all of this, with empty table and with tables that have content, in our Confluence Cloud instance. It's all working fine for me.
Mucked around with this for ages... if you create a new blank table in the target document, copy the table from the source document and paste into the table it seems to work (chrome)
