That's the problem then. The external system is mostly ascii, and will create ascii representations of tables and such. It is meant for pasting to/from other applications, lyx does not know what kind of data other apps use, and other apps does not know what lyx wants. So ascii is the "lowest common denominator".
Helge, A major part of the problem is that this is not documented anywhere. I looked in the users guide, advanced guide, and configuration guide and did not find an explanation of the external paste. That should be added ASAP.
The _internal_ pasting system supports copying and pasting of anything you're able to write. Including complicated tables and deeply nested environments.
In the documentation it should note that paste works across documents as well as within a document. Thanks, Rich -- Dr. Richard B.
