I too was unable to cause my two tables to combine, even using the alt key
method.

So... I added 4 or so rows to the the upper table. Then I "copied" the
data from 10 or more rows in the lower table to the upper table. The upper
table accepted the data and automatically added rows to accommodate the rows
I moved.

The "move" method I employed was to highlight the content of the rows, hold
down the "ctrl" key--and using my mouse--drag the highlighted data to column
one of new rows just added.

Hope this "work around" helps.

The best workaround I've found for this is to remove the return of course.
Then hold down the ALT key as you use the mouse to drag the column borders
into alignment. The alt key removes the snap-to feature.

Wrapping was off (by chance) and I had turned off heading rows all around,
suspecting that it might be a problem.

So, there is a problem and a workaround. But, my wife tells me that she's
moving to 2003, so I might be back in the market for a more general fix. ...

I have experienced this, too, so I can attest that you're not making it up.
Just to be on the safe side, though, make absolutely sure that wrapping on
all the tables is set to "None" and that you have no rows selected as
heading rows in the tables after the first.
