I have a table in word which I would like to join to another table copied and
pasted from excel. I followed the advice previously given to Dave Neve on
8/25/2005. My brain hurts, have tried all suggested but to no avail. Heavy
black line between tables and they don't join. Have had everyone in my
company trying to do it. It won't work. Perhaps MS could incorporate
something on the dropdown from Tools (similar to Split table) which would
join a table. Please help.

Many thanks

Jackie

To connect two tables, delete the paragraph mark that separates them.

If tables are separated not only by the paragraph mark but also by
text,
you would of course have to delete that to -- or cut and paste it to a
different location.

You may want to display nonprinting marks so that you'll be able to
see
paragraph marks. Click the "Show/Hide ¶" button on the Standard
toolbar.
Paragraph marks will display as "¶":

|---|--|
| | |
|---|--|
¶
|---|--|
| | |
|---|--|

Note that you cannot connect tables with text wrapping set (on the
Table
tab of TableTable Properties).
