Copy/Paste Cells: To copy data from an external table to a wiki table, you must be running Google Chrome. If it is a complex table, you may need to copy/paste in pieces. First, copy the external table cells. Then click Table, make sure there are enough columns, then click Paste Cells.

To bold the text within a cell, edit the text outside of the Table window.
