Pasting tables from Word to Oxygen Author: smart paste issue?

[lcownbey]

I'm trying to engage the smart paste function to paste tables from Word into Author. I've tried some tips from old topics on this forum but not had much success. When I paste tables, the contents render as lines of text, with one line for each original table row. Attempting to paste a blank table produces no change in the topic.

Tech and option details:

I'm running <oXygen/> XML Author 20.1, build 2018061313.

Under Editor / Edit Modes / Author / Schema-Aware, I set all Schema-Aware Editing options to on and checked every available box on that screen.

Under Document Type Association / Locations, my location is set to Default.

On the main Document Type Association page, there's an internal-storage extension of DITA with priority set to High. The external-storage DITA option has priority set to Low. When I've tried adjusting that, I don't have write permissions to alter the priority on the base DITA option.

I'd appreciate any suggestions that you can offer!
