Get 3 separated tables across a page
I am using Microsoft Word in Microsoft Office 2003 for this project. I am
trying to get 3 'separated' tables across a page. It will be used for a list of names (in 3 columns). I frequently need to add or remove names. I want to be able to do this in each column without affecting the other columns. And yes, I want the table effect so each column is outlined and I have the lines for the names. -- AZ Nancy |

Get 3 separated tables across a page
You can use Format | Columns to create three columns, then create a table in
each column. Column breaks added judiciously will preserve the column content. -- Suzanne S.

Get 3 separated tables across a page
Or you could use one large table and set the borders only on the parts of
that table that represent the individual 'tables' and make the blank columns narrower. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Get 3 separated tables across a page
To Graham,
If I use one large table and after I remove a name from one column I find that in order to then remove that blank row from that column it will also remove the row from the other two columns, along with the names in those two columns. Otherwise I have to copy and paste the names to close up the gap in the column I am working in. What I want is to have three 'separate' tables on one page and have the three table line up across the page next to each other. Wish I could draw a picture for you but can not in here. I want column 1, 2, & 3 to work independently of each other. -- AZ Nancy "Graham Mayor" wrote: Or you could use one large table and set the borders only on the parts of that table that represent the individual 'tables' and make the blank columns narrower. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Get 3 separated tables across a page
To Suzanne,
Thank you for your help. Your suggestion worked out just fine! What a simple solution. I did not see your solution till I scrolled on Grahams and there it was....it did not come up as a post by its self. I try to figure things out myself but had no luck going into 'help' trying to get answers. I am retired (not in the working/computer world) and I do not do a lot on the computer except e-mail and Internet and when it comes to this stuff I get lost in the maze of 'not able to find' solutions. I did check out your web site and will look into it further later. -- AZ Nancy "unknown" wrote: |
