Confirmed with 6.1 and 6.2.x. Using clicking paste word and then pasting to the box there shows the formatting in 6.1.1 but after clicking ok any background color, font etc is removed from the table. In 6.2.x the box to paste won't even appear so the paste doesn't even work there.

It seems that this is a bug in ckEditor beacause testing it in http://ckeditor.com/demo shows the same behaviour (it copies the format in the paste box but when cliking OK the format is gone)

For future reference and QA, we can fix this for MSWord by adding the appropriate settings on the config files. However, currently it only works for Microsoft Word and not OpenOffice since the copied contents aren't exactly alike.

Opened https://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/11529 to track the OpenOffice issue
