HTML Field - Copy/Paste Table Column

When copy and pasting contents from a table inside a HTML field, the column pastes as a single string rather than on new lines as intended.

Any suggestions for how to sort this out?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

 

Notepad is being used for demonstrative purposes. It copies into Excel as expected but other applications like MarkitEDM are seeing it as a string too rather than a 'grid'. 

I want to know if it is a behaviour that can be altered.

@TJ29 

yes that's how it's being handled in notepad or any text editor
