tab jumps to end of document in Office Starter (but only on text copied from Ever Note)

Documents made fresh tab woks fine. I tried selecting all and creating new docs with Ever Note created content, but same problem. Tab doesn't function.

Answer
Here's the explanation: When you press the Tab key inside a table, the insertion point moves to the next cell. That is why you must use Ctrl+Tab to insert a tab character in a table cell. (Note that you can use Ctrl+Tab even outside of tables.)

Is the copied text in a table cell?  What happens if you use CTRL+Tab?
