when i try to paste excel cells into ms. word table, it makes two excel cell into one word cell

Question

I want to copy my Excel cells to my Word table, but when I do, it combines two Excel cells into one Word cell. and weirdly enough, it makes the end of the row that I choose to only paste one cell. for example

excel: [i] [love] [my] [cereal] [soggy]

paste on word and i select 5 rows to paste to: [i love] [my cereal] [soggy i] [love my] [cereal]

please help so i don't have to manually copy and paste one cell at a time

What version of Office did you use?

Did you check if the Excel contain hidden columns?

I suggest you try to create a simple Workbook and Document, then paste the table into document.

You can also select the Merge Table when pasting:
