How about a two column one row table into the cells of which you insert the
other two tables, one to each cell as nested tables. You can have the
"outer" table without borders so that its presence is not apparent.

I read an earlier thread about two side by side tables, however, it is not
working in the way in which I need it to work. Here is what my problem
is:

I need to have two tables side by side through an entire multiple page
document.
If I do this by using two columns, the left column table will span to the
right column, and then the right column table will span to the left column
of
the following page.
If I do this without columns, setting the alignment to none, as specified
in
the previous thread, the left table functions perfectly. However, the
right
table then drops down the page, or begins at the bottom of the following
page
depending on the size of the left table.
I am completely stumped on how to have two fully indepenedent tables both
flowing down the pages on their respective halves in Microsoft Word. I'm
very close to believing that this may not be possible.

Thanks,
-Andy
