In word 2002 I was able to place 3 tables side by side each other across the
width of a paper.

In Word 2003 I am unable to do this. The table want to attach to each other
or connect inside one of another. I can get two table to work but not three.
It does not matter if I use Portrait or Landscape.

Any suggestions.

Hi Gladys-

One option: Create a one-row by x-columns (in your example, 3) table and
then insert a table in each one of the cells. Remove the Borders on the
'parent' table if you don't want it to show.

You can also use the tools on the Tables & Borders toolbar to draw cells
where you want them and sized accordingly. Takes a little practice, but worth
the effort!1

- Thanks - That is exactly how I got it to work - but I was hoping that I
wouldn't have to do it this way. The old way worked easier and better for our
project.
