How do I create two vertically parallel but dissimilar tables?
I require these tables to be vertically parallel on the same page. They are
different tables, as though in two columns. |

How do I create two vertically parallel but dissimilar tables?
The way I performed this in the past was to create one table, but erase the
rows in between the two tables. You can erase horizontal and vertical lines with the "borders" button. You can then merge the cells between your "two tables" and type text in that space. I hope this helps. saw185 "exec@home" wrote: I require these tables to be vertically parallel on the same page. They are different tables, as though in two columns. |

How do I create two vertically parallel but dissimilar tables?
G'Day Exec,
Nested Tables: 1. Create a table with 1 row and 2 columns. Use FormatBorders and Shading to remove it's borders. 2. Place the cursor inside the first (left) cell and insert the "left" table within it. 3. Place the cursor inside the second (right) cell and insert the "right" table within it. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "exec@home" wrote in message ...

How do I create two vertically parallel but dissimilar tables?
Hi,
to really have two different tables side by side on the same page, you'd have to set up a section with two textcolumns. But in detail, it's hell. Rather use one table and apply a bit of cosmetics to it. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

How do I create two vertically parallel but dissimilar tables?
As suggested by the other replies, there are two basic options:
1. If you want two tables side by side and the rows do not need to be (or need not to be) the same height, then create a two-column section (Format | Columns) and insert a table in each column. 2. If you want the rows to be the same, create a single table with an empty column in the middle, applying borders (if desired) only to the filled cells, leaving the center column without borders to create the appearance of two separate tables. -- Suzanne S.
