Default Aligning borders with multiple tables in a single document

You could try setting the preferred width of each of the tables to the same
exact amount.

Hi,
I have a one page document with several tables on the page. One table has
one more column than the other tables, and the other 2 tables have the

same
column names. Unfortunately (because of manual editing), the left and

right
borders of the tables do not align. They are slightly off and manually
dragging does not appear to fix the issue.

I am wondering how I can make the right and left borders line up for all

the
tables. By the way, manual dragging does seem to work fine for the borders
between columns in the table. It is only the outer left and right table
borders that won't align.
Thank you,
Craig
