Macro To copy information in a table (keeping format and nested table intact)

I need a macro that will copy a cells contents that may include check boxes and nested tables, then paste it into current location of a different table.

Currently the macro will replace everything on the document with a new table with only the copied information.

This code is not mine but I was hoping to use this to meet my needs... the original doc can be found at

HTML Code: 

Try something based on:

where, in Tables(1).Cell(2, 3): 1 is the index # of the source table in the document; 2 is the source row in that table; and 3 is the source column in that table.

Doesn't seem to work how I need it to.... I think its having issues because I am trying to use the Macro Based Template as an add-in for another word doc... I have been able to get to copy the information just fine, now I need to be able to paste the data into the area that the cursor in on the open document that is using the add in.... For right now I can CTRL + V it in there, but I would like to make it more user friendly for everyone else that will be using this... I will work on creating sample to post here

Pasting into an area under a cursor is entirely different from pasting it into the "current location" (post #1). For the latter, the selected insertion point is all that's needed; for the former, you'd need to invoke Windows APIs to determine the cursor location.

I tried API's and did not find one that worked for me (I mostly made an error on how I tried to use it.) I did more digging/searching on the internet and found:

and that seems to work ok for now...

Thank you for your help in trying to point me in the right direction.

I will post the sample version after I clean it up just in-case some wants to try to take this and make it into a fully working project. Now to start learn XML for custom Ribbons

That does nothing of substance different to what my code does, except that it transfers the data via the clipboard, thus wiping out anything that was already there...

I will have to re-look at your code with fresh eyes tomorrow when I get a chance and try to adapt into this project. Thank you for your help!
