And if you want the tables to go next to (besides) each other, you could set
up a section with the appropriate number of columns.

Tables must be separated by an ordinary text paragraph. If you will
display
nonprinting characters, it will be easier to paste the table so that it is
separated. Press Enter once after the original table to add an extra
paragraph. Then paste with the insertion point in this second text
paragraph
(which will end up below the pasted table).
