Default How do you join two existing tables of like format?

I have been experiencing very similar problems joining two tables in Word
2003 and have seen postings elsewhere on the same subject.

Your suggestions about a header row and/or wrapped tables does not help me
I'm afraid.

Has anyone addressed this issue since your last posting?

When this happens make sure that (a) no row in the lower table is marked as
a heading row and (b) neither of the tables is wrapped.

I saw this posting and this is exactly what I need to do. However, when I
deleted the hard return between the 2 tables, it did not make it one

table.
When selecting the first column in the table, it stops at the end of the

last
row of the first table and does not go all the way down to the end of the
table. It seems although you deleted the hard return it is still two

separate
tables. (I hope I'm making sense here.)

I have to like tables in a Word doc and would like to join them.
There is a hard return between the tables.
How can I join the two tables?
