Mr. Kenyon, thank you very much for your reply. How does one make these
'newspaper columns' though, for tables? I think I have done it for text. I
can produce single tables via the Table-Insert-Table function, and this would
present no problems, but now I want to put several of these, separately, each
with different pieces of data in them, on the same page for comparison
purposes. For instance, a narrow vertical table at the left, with two
smaller horizontal tables to its right, one above the other, and then
underneath that group a larger horizontal table. And simlarly on other
pages, with different sizes and combinations.

With best regards.

You could put tables in newspaper columns I suppose. A single table would be

(1) I want to put two or more separate tables, of different sizes, on the
same page and give each its own caption, in Word. It seems splitting
tables,
partly a way to
do it maybe, can only be done horizontally, not vertically, so that is not
an option if I want two or more tables side-by-side. Dragging one table
to
put next to another simply incorprates them. (2) How does one put blocks
of
text next to a table? Putting text into a 1x1 table and keeping or
removing
the border, then dragging, has the same effect as in (1). Any suggestions
much appreciated. I have Microsoft Windows XP and Word 2005. Many
thanks.
