Default Problem joining tables

I have two tables separated by text. I want to join the tables by
deleting the text. This is a technique I have used before with
INCLUDETEXT to form a single table. A narrow blank strip remains between
the two tables.

e.g.
I have
t1r1
t1r2
....
t1rn
text between
t2r1
t2r2
....

When I delete "text between", I get a small horizontal strip between the
two tables.

If I add rows so I have
....
t1rn
t1rn+1
text between
t2r0
t2r1
....

and select t1rn+1 to t2r0 inclusive, I can achieve the desired result by
deletion.

However, I find automating that hard. ;(

The desired result is

....
t1rn
t1rn+1
tern+2
....
