copying tables from other sources
Whenever I copy a table from Word or Excel, or even HTML to a DITA reference topic all of the elements come across as <properties> (etc), but if I drop it into a Concept, Oxygen translates a table into the proper DITA elements. Does anyone know how to fix this since the majority of our Reference topics contain tables?

Hi Don, What version of Oxygen are you using? By default Oxygen 17.0 prefers to paste tables as CALS tables, even when pasting inside a DITA reference-type topic. If you are using Oxygen 15.2 or older you can edit the XSLT stylesheet:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\resources\xhtml2reference.xsl
and remove or comment from it the XSLT template element:
<xsl:template match="e:table[ $context.path.names.sequence[1] = 'reference' or ($context.path.names.sequence[1] = 'dita' and $context.path.names.sequence[2] = 'reference')]" priority="1"> <properties> <xsl:apply-templates mode="reference"/> </properties> </xsl:template>
