How do I duplicate multiple split cells with their format to another cell?

Question

I am formatting a Word document and would like to be able to duplicate multiple split cells and their format/content into another table cell.  In the picture below, for example, I would like to copy and paste the date cells (red circle) into the areas with the red check marks:

I have tried selecting the 10 cells and then using different copy/paste options to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated and save me a ton of time!

Answer 1

Yes, I saw that effect as well. That's why I suggested a nested table.

Answer 2

Thanks a bunch for the reply, however, I cannot get this method to work.  When I try and drag the selected fields to another field, the formatting goes off the rails and I cannot find a way to correct it.  Here is an example of what I am talking about:

When I drag the cells above, I get this result below that goes off the page

Answer 3

Once I found the right combo of "options" for the table preferences it worked.  Thank you.  The downer is that resizing of the table cell and the table within when formatting the overall doc.  A little more experimenting and I hope to get there :)
