For what you're trying to do, it would appear that an inserted borderless
column is sufficient. For future reference, however, a different method
(which will work in Word 97) is to create two newspaper-style columns and
put one table in each column. Whether you use this method or the other
depends on whether or not you want the tables to be independent. If you want
the rows in the two tables to be the same size, then the center borderless
column is the way to go. If you want the rows in the two tables to be able
to be sized independently, then using two separate tables is preferable.

When you do use two separate tables, you can either create them as such from
scratch, or you can divide an existing table by selecting the desired
columns (the last three in this case) and dragging them to the second
snaking column.

Hi,

I need your help very much.

I have a table, let's say 6 columns and 8 rows.
I have to divide it into 2 separate tables along the
line between the 3rd and 4th columns making
a slot between them. So I would like to have
2 tables containing 3 columns and 8 rows, side
by side, with a slot between them. How to do it?
If it is not possible to divide existing table like that,
how to create 2 tables, side by side, with a slot
between them?

Instead to dividing the existing table into 2 parts
I could make a frame around each part bur I don't
know how to do it either.

Please help me.

Regards,
Tom
