Thank you Szabolcs,
I think that's what frustrates me because I figure that, although I
know that dimensions matter as I continue working with a data
structure within Mathematica, when something displays as two-
dimensional using TableForm then I should be able cut and paste it as
such for other purposes, such as creating tables in another application.
Regards,
Gregory
