Default Duplicating a Table

As Terry says, removing the separating paragraph will merge them, but if you
just want to add rows to the end of the table, you can add a single row by
tabbing out of the last row, or you can add multiple rows by selecting the
rows (any number up to the entire table) and using Table | Insert | Rows
Below.

Copy/paste the table. Make sure it is not set to automatically resize to

blank form), you can instead change the font color to white). Otherwise
you'll have to manually adjust the row height for each row, which is
easier said than done.

Ah, the key here is copy using the corner cross and not sweep the entire
table for a copy. It carried the contents, but that's easy to delete. The
next question, for interest only, is how to I merge the two tables?
