Retain formatting but not table structure when Copy/Pasting from Excel to Word

Hello,

Is there a way to copy the contents of a range of cells in Excel and then paste what was copied into a Word (2013) doc so that the table structure is lost but the formatting remains unchanged?

Whenever I want to get rid of table formatting (or any other kind of formatting), I generally paste copied content into a text file and then recopy and paste it from there to a Word doc. In that case, any Excel content which is not in the left-most copied column is placed in the text file with a Tab for each column between where it resides and the left extreme of the copied Excel range.

I know that there are several Paste Special options in Word as displayed in the following screenshot, but it seems that any which remove the table structure, also remove all formatting.
