Oh God - you're right. So instead of something that's right in Excel and wrong
in Calc, it's something that's wrong in both. This is a painful reminder of why
I switched to Libre Calc in the first place. 


I tried the same sequence in both Word and Writer, in both tables and in normal
paragraphs, and it worked logically in all cases. What you copy should be what
you paste. Am I wrong? Can you describe any logical reason why you would want a
hidden attribute of a cell to override what you've copied onto the clipboard? 

In any case, thanks for showing the workaround. I'll try to adapt my work flow
to hit F2 before typing anything.

NOTE: This doesn't invalidate the initial report as represented by 108559.ods.
If you open that in Excel, the bug doesn't occur.
