When you select a rectangle block, use Alt+C to copy it (or Alt+M to move it).
The paste operation just sees a stream of text in the clipboard, it doesn't know you want to preserve the columns...

Hi John 
Alt+R is what I was talking about, but everything went haywire when I tried to 
paste the block I copied as after the first line in the block was pasted where 
I wanted it, the remainder shot over to the left and needed lots of moving 
around, still can't have everything I suppose.  :-)
